3 Sexuality is not what we do It is who we are and includes Intercourse Romance Kissing Affection Intimacy Companionship Personal grooming Clothing Touch Masturbation Feeling attractive, talking dirty, watching an erotic movie Feeling masculine, feminine, gay, lesbian, transgender, transsexual, queer. 3
4 Sexuality in the media Youth Muscles Slim bodies No sagging Perfect models No grey hair 4
5 5 We don t often see this
6 Sexuality and older people What is virility at 25 becomes lechery at 65 (Berezin, 1965) 6
7 The reality Research has consistently shown for over 50 years that older people generally maintain sexual interest and remain sexually capable even into their nineties (even in nursing homes) Sexuality linked to quality of life, sense of well-being Expression of sexuality is a basic human right (where it does not infringe upon the rights of others) 7
8 Sexuality and people with dementia Still human Still get hungry, thirsty, cold, hot Still feel pain Still need to feel human- be touched, loved, treated with dignity! Why would we assume that they do not feel and act sexual? (Nay) 8
9 Sexuality and people with dementia Sexual sensations are among the last of the pleasuregiving biological processes to deteriorate, and are an enduring source of gratification at a time when pleasures are becoming fewer and fewer. (Roach, 2004) Moderate cognitive impairment does not necessarily preclude a PWD from exhibiting clear preferences for a special friend or partner, having an awareness of a relationship with another, or avoiding exploitation. (Everett, 2007; Kuhn, 2002; Mayers, 1998; Messinger-Rapport, Sandhu, & Hujer, 2003; Shindel Martin, Gibson, Treen, et al, 2002) 9
10 10 RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE & SEXUALITY
11 Sexual behaviours reported in aged care in Australian and overseas research flirting holding hands cuddling intimate touch fondling kissing and other displays of affection intercourse masturbation talking dirty sadomasochism sexual identity the use of sexual materials and sex workers 11
12 Sexuality and residential aged care 12 A major challenge For older people to express their sexuality For staff to accept No privacy Inadequate education/training & understanding of dementia When dementia- sexuality easily dismissed and labelled inappropriate behaviour A vulnerable population - fears about consent, duty of care, risk taking Paternalistic and family centred responses No assessment of residents needs, no discussion Few resources/policies to guide practice
13 Absence of information, policy and guidelines Less than 3% of Victorian facilities have addressed the topic of sexuality, love, intimacy, or relationships in promotional information available for residents/families. 65% have no information available for staff. (Bauer, Nay & McAuliffe, 2009) 75% of facilities in Australia have no policy on sexuality, sexual health or sexual behaviour 97% of facilities will collect information on sexuality when disruptive behaviour occurs (McAuliffe, Bauer et al, 2012, unpublished data) 13
14 What makes older people living in aged care feel sexual? The views of residents? getting dressed up and feeling pampered being complimented spending time in mixed sex groups looking one s best enjoying sexually stimulating/explicit media - magazines, TV, videos talking dirty going to bed with a partner and cuddling, kissing and having sex masturbating and being with a sex worker (Nay, 2004) 14
15 The views of older people (including those with dementia) living in age care homes about sexuality? Sex, intimacy, expression of sexuality still important Limited privacy Limited opportunities to form new relationships or maintain old ones No one to talk to about it Staff are uncomfortable and harbour negative attitudes Importance of sexuality and how one expresses it is very individual Doesn t concern the family Bauer et al, under review 15
16 Implications of research for residential aged care facilities Facilities need to: provide more opportunities for residents (incl. those with dementia) to get dressed up and socialise provide opportunities for residents to talk about sexuality educate families and staff, including ways to facilitate expression of sexuality have a decision making framework/policy provide information to all stakeholders assess resident s needs 16
17 Current project Development of a sexuality assessment tool for residential aged care facilities which includes the needs of people with dementia: 6 sections: Policies and Procedures Staff Education and Knowledge Education and Support for Residents Education and Support for Families Assessment and Documentation Facility Environment 17
18 Why do we need an assessment tool for sexuality in residential aged care? How do I use this assessment tool? Each section receives a score, with an overall score out of XX. The scoring guideline at the end of the assessment tool provides an indication of how well the facility supports the sex and intimacy needs of residents overall. Important Definitions: Sexuality/Sexualities Sexual Abuse Sexual Behaviour Sexual Expression Sexual Aggression Intimacy 18
19 Facility Environment Y / N/ sometimes The facility provides private spaces for residents to use for sexual activity The facility organises social events or provides opportunities for residents to express their sexuality in a social setting (ie: dances, parties, adult movie nights) Sexually explicit materials are available for residents to use in the privacy of their own rooms (ie: dvds, magazines) Double rooms or joining rooms are available for residents who wish to live as a couple. Double beds are available for residents Privacy measures are available for individuals who are sharing a room but are not a couple (ie: curtain, divider etc) Score for Facility Environment 19 / 6
20 Education and Support for Families Y / N/ sometimes Education is provided to families regarding residents rights to express their sexuality Support is provided for families who have difficulty coping with residents expressions of sexuality. Families are informed during the orientation period that they may approach staff to speak about their concerns with regards to a resident s sexual expression Written information (ie: booklets, fact sheets, guidelines) is provided to educate families about residents expressions of sexuality Information is provided for families from a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background with regards to residents sexuality (ie: booklets or fact sheets in other languages). Support is provided for families from a CALD background with regards to residents sexuality (ie: interpreters who can assist with staff-family communication or staff with sensitivity to/knowledge of particular cultural issues surrounding sex). Family meetings are held where family members can raise issues related to residents expressions of sexuality Score for Education and Support for Families /7
