| description | Dementia affects the individual’s functional ability including sexual activity. Limited understanding is available to support sexual health practices. This meta-synthesis review aimed to identify the gaps in the study of sexuality in dementia using the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). Electronic searches utilizing six databases for existing articles involving persons living with dementia, care partners, and healthcare workers. The result showed that available studies primarily explored sexuality from the viewpoint of spouses of persons living with dementia. The volition domain of MOHO was the most explored provides a deeper understanding of volition on intrinsic perspective on sexuality in people with dementia. The environment domain was the least explored, highlighting healthcare professionals’ need for social support and training. The topic of sexuality remains sensitive, limiting the availability of evidence-based interventions in this area. |
