“…They do not want to embarrass their patients and there are multiple hindering organizational aspects such as lack of time, insecurities in knowledge and doubts concerning their role in such issues (O'Connor et al, 2019). Further, HCPs feel insecure about talking frankly about sexual well‐being with their patients because they do not feel properly trained (Magnan et al, 2005; Martin & Woodgate, 2017; O'Connor et al, 2019; Saunamäki & Engström, 2014; Ziliotto & Marcolan, 2014).

AimsTo systematically identify and summarize the needs of chronically ill people concerning their sexual well‐being in peer‐reviewed published literature, to enable healthcare professionals to provide support in self‐management satisfying the needs.DesignA scoping review was performed according to the framework of (JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. JBI Global Wiki, 2020). Findings are reported in line with the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews.Review MethodsA literature search and thematic analysis were conducted.Data SourcesFull research was carried out in 2022 in the search engine BASE and the following databases: Scopus, MEDLINE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index and CINAHL. Peer‐reviewed articles published after 2011 were included.ResultsFifty articles could be found. Seven categories of needs could be identified. People with chronic diseases want their providers to initiate discussions about sexual concerns and treat them trustfully and respectfully. Most of the patients would like the issue of sexuality to be included in routine care. They perceive their medical specialists and psychologists as preferred providers to talk to about this issue. Nurses are seen as primary contact persons but in a smaller number of studies.ConclusionAlthough the scoping review included different types of chronic diseases, the needs of chronically ill patients concerning their sexual well‐being are not very different. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, who are often the first point of contact for people with chronic illnesses, should take the initiative for open discussions about sexual issues. That requires a new understanding of the role of nurses, training and further education.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareProviding patient education and facilitating an open discussion about sexuality require further training in the new understanding of the role of the nurse and the concept of sexual well‐being.ImpactWhat problem did the study address? Chronic diseases have an impact on patients' sexuality. Patients want to be informed about sexual issues, but providers often do not address them. What were the main findings? Patients with a chronic condition expect providers to initiate discussions about sexual well‐being, regardless of the type of chronic disease. Where and on whom will the research have an impact? The research will impact healthcare professionals', especially nurses', future educational standards and ultimately patients.Reporting MethodPRISMA extension for scoping reviews.No patient or public contributionNot required as it was a literary work (scoping review).

“…It is important to emphasize that the human being is marked by desires, eroticism and feelings of love, presenting the peculiarity of seeking a way to supply their emotional and affective needs (4) . However, when it comes to the sexuality of individuals in psychological distress, in addition to being marginalized from their social context and marked by stigma, they are seen as asexual, devoid of love desire and incapable of concrete affective life, undervalued the potentialities of affective relationships (5) .…”

Objectives: to understand the conceptions of individuals in psychological distress about their sexuality. Methods: qualitative study held at a Psychosocial Care Center. Fifteen people assisted in the service participated. A semi-structured questionnaire and script with identification data survey and guiding questions were applied. Data were analyzed by Content Analysis. Results: the following categories emerged: Prejudice of assisted people regarding homosexuality; Prejudice of assisted people regarding the expression of sexuality and the social context; Prejudice to the affective relationship among people assisted in CAPS; Prejudice of people assisted in the expression of female sexuality; Prejudice of society to the sexual orientation of assisted people. Final considerations: sexuality understanding showed that these are conceptions linked to prejudice and stigma of society. Although sexuality was present, it is clear that it was surrounded by taboos, myths and value judgments, in which the only way to deal with it was through repression.
