PERSPECTİVE ON SEXUALİTY, LİVİNG PROBLEMS OF OLD WOMEN AND THE ROLE OF HEALTH PROFESSİONALS
Abstract
Aging is an age that starts in intrauterine life and continues until death and is not recycled. Sexuality is a need that is influenced by the cultural values and moral elements of the society that engage in lifelong, fetal life, reproductive and sexual fulfillment, all body and mind related. According to the results of the research, it is seen that women are affected by this situation in the society where the sexual activity is thought to be decreased or adversely affected in the old age period. İn some studies, older women find sexuality important. Sexually active women have high sexual satisfaction. Sexuality for women includes not only sex but also good times spent with the partner. With advancing age, biological and hormonal changes can affect sexual function negatively. Cultural factors, oppression of society, religious beliefs also affect sexual life. It seems that one of the problems of sexuality of older women can not find a partner. Health workers' attitudes towards sexual life in old age are very important in terms of continuing this period in a healthier way. There is a need to increase the work on how to approach the professional approach to sexuality in old age.
