The study aims to assess the impact of "sexual nursing care" on sexual dysfunctions in Italian stroke patients. The method involves a randomized clinical trial with two groups: one receiving specific sexual care and the other standard care, both involving the partner. Various assessment scales are used, and four outpatient interventions are administered over six months. Results indicate improvement in body awareness, management of sexual dysfunctions, relational dynamics, and quality of life for both patients and partners. In conclusion, the importance of sexual health in stroke patients is highlighted as an indicator of quality of life. Targeted nursing interventions can facilitate timely diagnosis and a personalized approach to patients and partners.
