Аннотация
STUDY DESIGN: Literature review and a qualitative study.
OBJECTIVE: This article reviews literature examining the sexual rehabilitation of women following spinal cord injury (SCI). It includes recommendations for improvements in initial clinical rehabilitation efforts and counselling services.
SETTING: United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden.
METHODS: Articles concerning sexual rehabilitation following SCI from the last two decades have been reviewed and critiqued. Qualitative results from discussions with women with SCI in Denmark and Sweden are presented.
RESULTS: The literature focuses on the effect of neurological change on women's ability to achieve sexual arousal and orgasm. Urinary and bowel incontinence, spasticity, vaginal lubrication and autonomic dysreflexia are the physical consequences of SCI that appear to have most impact on sexual activity. More recent studies have acknowledged that psychosocial factors such as age and partnership status may also affect the successful sexual rehabilitation. Discussions with women with SCI in Denmark and Sweden on their reactions to information and counselling offered during rehabilitation revealed an overwhelming need for the exchange of information and experience with other women with SCI, and a desire for opportunities for counselling after initial rehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: Successful sexual rehabilitation of women with SCI demands a holistic approach that considers individual neurological, physical and psychosocial circumstances. Peer-counselling could make a significant contribution to the sexual rehabilitation of women with SCI.
