“…Furthermore, it has been argued that education should be provided early in the clinicians' career, before negative attitudes and stereotypes have been developed [42][43][44]. Evaluation studies provide evidence of the effectiveness of education in enhancing knowledge, skills, and comfort in addressing patients' sexual concerns [21,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. However, there are limited evaluations aimed at improving clinicians' ability to discuss sexuality when working with people with disabilities [25].…”

“…This would allow evaluation of the application and transferability of the knowledge and skills gained. Future research could also look at whether the DVD has an impact in modifying attitudes towards sexuality of people with disabilities; authors have reported positive changes in attitudes, following sexuality workshops delivered to an interdisciplinary team [51,65].…”

“…These variables were chosen because perceived knowledge, confidence, and comfort have been shown to be key predictors of willingness to discuss sexuality [40,51,52]. Responses were provided on a 10-point Likert scale (10 being the most knowledgeable/confident etc).…”

Addressing Sexuality as Standard Care in People with an Upper Limb Deficiency: Taboo or Necessary Topic?

et al. 2013

The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether professionals who work with people with an upper limb deficiency (ULD) received questions about sexuality from their patients and whether they addressed sexuality themselves, and to analyze their knowledge and comfort level, approach and attitudes towards sexuality. An online questionnaire, including questions on self-perceived sexological competence and the Knowledge, Comfort, Approach and Attitudes towards Sexuality Scale (KCAASS) was used to asses these aspects. One out of three professionals had received a question about sexuality from their patients. Nearly one out of five professionals had addressed sexuality themselves. Professionals who received a question about sexuality from patients or addressed this issue themselves had significantly higher scores on self-perceived knowledge about sexuality and on self-perceived conversation skills compared to professionals who did not. The scores on the KCAASS Knowledge and Comfort of professionals who received a question about sexuality or addressed the issue of sexuality were significantly higher than those of professionals who did not. Sexuality is thus only scantly discussed by professionals working with patients with an ULD. Professionals indicated they do not feel confident nor comfortable enough to address this issue. They also experience a lack of appropriate knowledge to address sexuality with patients. Professionals reported a need for courses and training on both knowledge and conversation skills concerning sexuality. In addition, a 123Sex Disabil (2013) 31:167-177 DOI 10.1007 protocol and necessary facilities need to be provided for the team working with people with an ULD in order to be able to address sexuality systematically.

Psychosocial interventions for the prevention of disability following traumatic physical injury

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

This review provides no convincing evidence of the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for the prevention of disability following traumatic physical injury. Taken together, our findings cannot be considered as supporting the provision of psychosocial interventions to prevent aspects of disability arising from physical injury. However, these conclusions are based on a small number of disparate trials with small to moderate sample sizes and are therefore necessarily cautious. More research, using larger sample sizes, and similar interventions and patient populations to enable pooling of results, is needed before these findings can be confirmed.
