The purpose of this action research (AR) was to explore the ways in which sexuality is experienced daily and to improve the expression of older women's sexuality. The pedagogy of autonomy as proposed by the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire theoretically supported this AR, with the participation of six older adult women living in a rural setting in southwest Brazil. The older women's experiences regarding sexuality, their concerns, and their educational demands could be summarized through five phrases: the improvement of self-esteem as a way to promote sexuality; sexuality impaired by loneliness and lack of affection; men's sexual satisfaction seen as a woman's obligation; women's sexuality controlled by the society; and relinquishment of the companion to attend to the expectations of family members. Dialogical and participative educational approaches and continuous observation-participation strategies were performed to support the women's care and educational requirements.
这项行动研究（AR）的目的是探索日常生活中性欲的体验方式，并改善老年女性性欲的表达。巴西教育家保罗·弗莱雷提出的自主教育学在理论上支持了这项行动研究，研究参与者为居住在巴西西南部农村地区的六位老年女性。老年女性在性方面的经历、她们的担忧以及她们的教育需求可以概括为五个短语：提升自尊以促进性欲；因孤独和缺乏关爱而受损的性欲；将男性的性满足视为女性的义务；受社会控制的女性性欲；以及为迎合家庭成员期望而放弃伴侣。采取了对话式和参与式教育方法以及持续观察-参与策略，以满足这些女性的护理和教育需求。
