Abstract

Introduction: Sexuality is an essential element for the health and quality of life. Rehabilitation Nursing allows training and maximization of the functionality of disabled persons. The purpose of this study is, in the scope of rehabilitation, to map the evidence of nursing interventions in terms of the function of sexuality in disabled persons. Method: Rapid Literature Review using PubMed and the EBSCOhost platform. Accepting only primary studies, published between January 1, 2014 and November 16, 2024. Cochrane guidelines were followed. Results: A total of seven articles were included. In the data analyzed, health education emerged as the main line of intervention in Rehabilitation Nursing. Nursing professionals must evaluate and teach disabled persons, and their family members and caregivers about the role of sexuality, the factors that affect it and the techniques used to optimize it. The application of intervention models and therapeutic communication facilitate the elaboration of individualized care plans. The use of techniques like videos or simulations strategies facilitate the discussion of sexuality and help to teach specific instructions. Conclusion: Rehabilitation Nursing Specialists must perform health education using validated intervention models. It is suggested that a Systematic Review of Literature and Case Reports be carried out to increase knowledge on this topic.
