A scoping review of education and training resources supporting care home staff in facilitating residents' sexuality, intimacy and relational needs

摘要

Background: Having positive intimate, sexual and relational experiences is an important issue for older adults in care settings, yet little is known on the extent to which nursing staff and care workers have received education or training in addressing and meeting these needs among older residents. This scoping review aimed to identify and examine what education and training resources exist to assist nursing staff and care workers to meet their residents' needs in this area.
