What you'll learn
After completing this course, health professionals will be able to:
- Identify at least five psychosexual challenges associated with four medical conditions prevalent in older adults and how these challenges differ from “normal” aging
- Articulate four patient-based and nine provider-based barriers to diagnosis and treatment of psychosexual disorders in this patient base
- Demonstrate greater ability to sensitively address the issue of sexual impairment and/or dysfunction among the older, medically-ill patient by defining the four levels of the PLISSIT model
- Predict at least four common themes in treatment and how to utilize an evidence-based intervention to ameliorate specific symptoms and improve overall quality of life in these patients
Course overview
This course explores the intricate relationship between aging, illness, and sexual health, focusing on the physiological, psychological, and social factors that shape sexuality in later life. It examines the impact of chronic and acute medical conditions on sexual functioning and relationships while challenging myths and addressing common barriers to communication. Grounded in contemporary research, the course equips mental health professionals with evidence-based tools like the PLISSIT model to engage in sensitive, effective interventions, promoting the sexual well-being and overall quality of life of older adults.
