Sexual dysfunction is common but often under-recognised or neglected after stroke. This study sought to identify the existing methods for providing information and discussion on post-stroke sexual activity, and perceived gaps from the patient perspective. A sample of 1265 participants who had been admitted to any of the four major public hospitals in Tasmania, Australia, with stroke (International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) group B70) were mailed a survey assessing their experiences with, and opinions about, receipt of post-stroke sexual activity education. One hundred and eighty-three participants (14.5%) responded; of these, 65% were male and the mean age was 69.1 years. The results indicated that, whilst over 30% or participants wanted to receive information related to post-stroke sexual activity, only a small proportion of participants (8.2%) had received this. In terms of the method of receiving this information, participants preferred to receive this from a doctor in a private discussion with or without their partner present. The delivery of post-stroke sexual activity information and education is inconsistent and fails to meet patient needs within major Tasmanian hospitals, highlighting the importance of developing sound, routine, post-stroke education and information processes.
性功能障碍很常见，但在中风后常常未得到充分认识或被忽视。本研究旨在确定现有的关于中风后性活动的信息提供和讨论方法，以及从患者角度感知到的差距。对澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州四家主要公立医院中因中风（国际疾病分类（ICD - 10）B70组）入院的1265名参与者进行抽样，邮寄一份调查以评估他们对中风后性活动教育的接受经历和看法。183名参与者（14.5%）做出回应；其中，65%为男性，平均年龄为69.1岁。结果表明，虽然超过30%的参与者希望获得与中风后性活动相关的信息，但只有一小部分参与者（8.2%）收到过此类信息。在获取该信息的方式方面，参与者更倾向于在有或没有伴侣在场的情况下，在与医生的私下讨论中获取。在塔斯马尼亚州的主要医院中，中风后性活动信息和教育的提供不一致，未能满足患者需求，这凸显了制定完善、常规的中风后教育和信息流程的重要性。
