title: Disturbances in sexual role performance of chronic alcoholics: an analysis using Roy's adaptation model.
abstract: Scientific evidence that sheds light on the disturbances in sexual role performance experienced by chronic alcoholics is discussed within the framework of Roy's adaptation model of nursing. The multiple etiologic factors contributing to disturbed sexual role performance are identified within each adaptation mode, with emphasis on the interrelationships between them. Nursing diagnoses are then suggested.
