Perceptions of older people about sexuality are little known. This review aimed to synthesize and analyse studies investigating these perceptions in institutionalized and in community-dwelling older people.
A systematic search was developed in The Cochrane Library, Medline (Pubmed), PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, ProQuest, Cuiden, and CINHAL of articles published in both English and Spanish until April 2018.
1.122 articles were found, of which 11 met the inclusion criteria. Based on these articles, older people wanted to preserve active sexuality. The social stereotypes, the association between sexuality and fertility and marital duty, the lack of privacy, and the harms of relatives and professionals. The older male gay and bisexual or people with HIV reflected as a barrier to the fear of disclosing their sexual orientation or any disease, respectively.
Older people believe sexuality as something positive and as a desire that they still want to express. The social stereotypes, the harms of the people with whom they live, the lack of privacy, and the association between sexuality and fertility and marital duty are considered as barriers to the expression of their sexual desire. Social and health care policies should take these considerations into account.
老年人对性的看法鲜为人知。本综述旨在综合分析有关机构养老和社区养老老年人这些看法的研究。
在Cochrane图书馆、Medline（PubMed）、PsycINFO、EMBASE、科学网、ProQuest、Cuiden和CINHAL中进行系统检索，查找截至2018年4月以英文和西班牙文发表的文章。
共找到1122篇文章，其中11篇符合纳入标准。基于这些文章，老年人希望保持积极的性生活。存在社会刻板印象、性与生育及婚姻义务之间的关联、缺乏隐私以及亲属和专业人员的伤害。老年男同性恋者、双性恋者或艾滋病毒感染者分别反映出因害怕披露性取向或任何疾病而成为障碍。
老年人认为性是积极的，是他们仍想表达的欲望。社会刻板印象、与他们共同生活的人的伤害、缺乏隐私以及性与生育及婚姻义务之间的关联被视为他们表达性欲的障碍。社会和医疗保健政策应考虑这些因素。
