Abstract

Sexuality is an integral part of our existence. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can complicate the lifelong course of sexual development and the ways in which one defines and expresses sexuality. Unfortunately, these issues are not adequately addressed by the health professionals involved in the rehabilitation process. Present research attempts to study the effect that can arise on the sexual and relational satisfaction of couples having a partner with MS after the implementation of a sexual rehabilitation program. 60 couples where one partner has MS and the other does not, were divided into three groups and accepted the PLISSIT (PLISSIT stands for Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, Intensive Therapy) sexual rehabilitation program as follows: Group a (n = 40, control group) completed self-referencing questionnaires at three times (initial measurement, after 10 weeks and 6 months later), group b (n = 40) did 10 weeks of sexual counselling and completed the same questionnaires at the same times and group c (n = 40) followed the PLISSIT programme and was evaluated in the same way at the same times. The implementation of PLISSIT improved Sexual Dysfunction (SD) levels, increased sexual satisfaction between partners along with general relational satisfaction. PLISSIT can be used by professionals involved in the management of the disease as a comprehensive psychosexual rehabilitation program for MS patients and their partners.

多发性硬化症患者及其伴侣的性康复和关系满意度。
性是我们存在的一个组成部分。多发性硬化症(MS)会使性发育的终生过程以及一个人定义和表达性行为的方式复杂化。不幸的是,参与康复过程的保健专业人员没有充分处理这些问题。目前的研究试图研究在实施性康复计划后,对患有多发性硬化症的伴侣的性和关系满意度可能产生的影响。60对夫妻,其中一方患有多发性硬化症,另一方没有,被分为三组,接受PLISSIT (PLISSIT代表许可,有限信息,具体建议,强化治疗)性康复计划如下:a组(n = 40,对照组)分三次(首次测量,10周后和6个月后)完成自我参考问卷,b组(n = 40)进行10周的性咨询并在同一时间完成相同的问卷,c组(n = 40)遵循PLISSIT计划并在同一时间以相同的方式进行评估。PLISSIT的实施改善了性功能障碍(SD)水平,提高了伴侣之间的性满意度以及总体关系满意度。PLISSIT可以被参与疾病管理的专业人员用作MS患者及其伴侣的综合性心理康复计划。
