The author will draw on relevant research and her personal experience as someone who lives with a chronic illness to identify the challenges that are inherent in research interviews regarding sexuality in chronic illness.
Although sexuality in chronic illness has become a significant body of research in the field of chronic illness, particularly in the field of cancer, there are few guidelines available to assist researchers in interviewing people about such an intimate and sensitive topic.
The PLISSIT model used in clinical counselling could be adapted to be used by researchers in interviews about sexuality. With this model a researcher can cover in-depth interview on this individual's sexuality and sexual health. Also, with the use of the PLISSIT model as a research tool, many of the past myths concerning sexuality and sexual health can be exposed and changed.
The adaptation of the PLISSIT counselling model to an interviewing model can contribute to researchers feeling more confident with participants when interviewing them concerning their sexuality and sexual health. It may illicit more appropriate responses from individuals concerning their sexuality and sexual health.
作者将借鉴相关研究以及她作为一名慢性病患者的个人经历，来确定慢性病患者性取向研究访谈中固有的挑战。
尽管慢性病患者的性取向已成为慢性病领域，尤其是癌症领域的一项重要研究内容，但可供研究人员用于就此类私密且敏感话题采访人们的指导方针却很少。
临床咨询中使用的PLISSIT模型可加以调整，供研究人员在性取向访谈中使用。借助该模型，研究人员能够深入访谈个体的性取向和性健康状况。此外，将PLISSIT模型用作研究工具，过去许多有关性取向和性健康的误解都可被揭示并纠正。
将PLISSIT咨询模型调整为访谈模型，有助于研究人员在就性取向和性健康状况采访参与者时更有信心。这可能会促使个体就其性取向和性健康状况给出更恰当的回应。
