title: Sexual healing: caring for patients recovering from myocardial infarction.
abstract: Sexuality is rarely addressed when patients are recovering from myocardial infarction (MI). This article discusses both nurses' and patients' attitudes to sexuality, and examines ways to increase nurses' awareness so that they can offer sexual advice and apply a truly holistic approach when caring for patients following an MI.
