Sexuality is an important part of life, for older people as well as for others. Sexual attitudes, beliefs and lifestyles may be as diverse among older people as they are among younger age groups. But for nurses to plan care with patients in ways that take issues of sexuality into account, they need to feel more comfortable talking about sexuality with older people. This article uses case studies to help readers explore their own attitudes and those of colleagues towards sexuality in later years, and prompts discussions on what this might signify for future nursing care so that staff are better equipped to assist patients with this subject.
性取向是生活的重要组成部分，对老年人和其他人来说都是如此。老年人的性态度、信仰和生活方式可能与年轻人一样多种多样。但是，护士要想以考虑到性取向问题的方式为患者规划护理，就需要在与老年人谈论性取向时感到更自在。本文通过案例研究帮助读者探索自己以及同事对晚年性取向的态度，并引发关于这对未来护理可能意味着什么的讨论，以便工作人员能更好地在这个问题上为患者提供帮助。
