- Abstract
Objective: Identify scientific evidence in the literature that influences health professionals' approach to sexuality in the elderly. Method: integrative review research, through search for scientific articles in the databases MEDLINE and CINAHAL and in Virtual Libraries/Bibliographic Repositories LILACS, Scielo and Science Direct, focusing on health professionals and sexuality in elders. Results: fourteen articles were selected, showing that most health professionals have limited knowledge, varied attitudes and do not approach the subject proactively. The lack of knowledge and training on the subject, lack of time in appointments and the discomfort generated by the theme were reported difficulties. Conclusion: most health professionals neglect to talk about sexuality with older patients. The minimum attention to the subject provides an embarrassing environment for both elders as health professionals.
