Abstract
Objectives. Sexuality in residential aged care is a complex and often overlooked aspect of aged care. The attitudes of both staff and residents significantly influence how sexuality is perceived and addressed in these settings. This scoping review aims to compile, analyse, and identify gaps in the existing research concerning the attitudes of residents and staff towards sexuality within the context of residential aged care. Methods. The scoping review involved a systematic search across eight databases, yielding 469 unique articles, with 29 included studies. Results. Thematic synthesis within the selected studies disclosed three themes: hollow attitudes, postsexual residents, and organizational setbacks. Discussion. The results emphasize the significance of treating sexuality as a fundamental right, emphasizing that it should be not only acknowledged in theory but also implemented in practice.
