Female sexual dysfunction: clinical approach

Nurses have an increasing role in the health care system worldwide. Besides their competence, their availability to listen – verbally and non verbally – to patients, to their fears and concerns, give them the opportunity to become primary confidents of the many issues and questions diseases raise in the domain of quality of life and sexuality. To train nurses in sexual medicine may significantly improve their competence in addressing critical sexual concerns, more frequent in the specialty of urology and gynecology, and increase the quality of support the health system can offer to patients.
