The purpose of this article is to describe patients' experiences of sexual activity after suffering myocardial ischemia. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with people who had suffered myocardial ischemia in the last 6 to 24 months before the interview. We used maximum variation sampling method. After reaching theoretical saturation, a 19-informants sample was formed. Data were analyzed using the Giorgi method. Four themes were identified: "sexual activity becomes different," "determinants of the return to sexual activity," "how sexual activity ought to be," and "sexual information received." Patients showed a decrease both in frequency and desire for sexual activity influenced by fear of sexual activity and health care professionals' recommendations. These recommendations were about "avoiding sexuality at the beginning" and conducting "sexual activity without overdoing it." Health care professionals should educate patients about the right time to resume sexual activity. Nurses can help patients to deal with fears related to sexual activity.
本文旨在描述心肌缺血患者的性活动体验。我们对在访谈前最后6至24个月内患有心肌缺血的人进行了半结构化定性访谈。我们采用了最大差异抽样法。在达到理论饱和后，形成了一个由19名受访者组成的样本。数据采用 Giorgi 方法进行分析。确定了四个主题：“性活动变得不同”、“恢复性活动的决定因素”、“性活动应该是怎样的”以及“获得的性信息”。受对性活动的恐惧和医护人员建议的影响，患者的性活动频率和欲望均有所下降。这些建议包括“开始时避免性行为”以及进行“不过度的性活动”。医护人员应告知患者恢复性活动的正确时间。护士可以帮助患者应对与性活动相关的恐惧。
