Sexual counseling needs of myocardial infarction (MI) patients are frequently overlooked by nurses. This study sought to determine to what extent sexual counseling of MI patients was addressed in the acute care setting. The survey of 96 patients showed that sexual counseling was largely not addressed for this group of patients and that specific information on resuming sexual activity was not provided for most patients. Seventy-one percent of patients believed that staff should address sexuality in the hospital setting. It was found that receipt of sexual counseling significantly differed by marital status of the patient. Nurses need to take a more active role in sexual assessment and education in order to improve the quality of life of patients post-MI.
心肌梗死（MI）患者的性咨询需求常常被护士忽视。本研究旨在确定在急性护理环境中，MI患者的性咨询在多大程度上得到了处理。对96名患者的调查显示，这组患者的性咨询基本未得到处理，大多数患者未获得关于恢复性活动的具体信息。71%的患者认为工作人员应在医院环境中讨论性问题。研究发现，患者接受性咨询的情况因婚姻状况而有显著差异。护士需要在性评估和教育中发挥更积极的作用，以提高MI后患者的生活质量。
