Produktinformationen zu „Aging and Sexuality “
The population growth rate for older adults has rapidly exceeded the growth
rate of the United States population as a whole. Despite these demographic
changes, there is a paucity of research that explores sexual health among
older individuals. Sexuality has been described as a multidimensional and
holistic phenomenon with biological, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and
social components. Few empirical studies have examined factors that affect
older adults' experience of changes in sexuality and life quality on a
multidimensional level. To more clearly understand aspects of sexual health
among older adults, there is a need to examine components of sexuality from
a biopsychosocial, or interrelated, perspective. The purpose of this study was
to investigate the impact of sociological, cultural, and psychological factors
to further explain variance beyond biological changes that influence the
potentialities of aging, sexual health, and overall quality of life. Data were
collected using a mixed-mode approach to optimize participant response and
coverage. Residents of a large active retirement community served as the
study participants. Overall findings add to the existing body of literature on
aging and sexuality. This book is addressed to scholars, professionals,
practitioners, educators, counselors, therapists, students, and laypersons.
