  • Title: Sexuality and spinal cord injury: a road map for nurses.
    Author: McBride KE, Rines B.
    Journal: SCI Nurs; 2000; 17(1):8-13. PubMed ID: 10855218.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this article is to describe and outline a method of nursing care intervention that will assist nurses in addressing the sexual health concerns of their clients with spinal cord impairment (SCI). A "road map" is described that serves as a guide to recognize and respond to clients' sexual health concerns. A sexual assessment framework is explored to help nurses identify common concerns shared by persons with SCI. Each area will be defined, and the impact of SCI will be discussed. The PLISSIT Model is presented as a way for planning nursing interventions to address sexual health concerns. Strategies are identified for talking with clients about changes to sexuality and sexual function following SCI.
