title: Sexuality in aging: implications for nursing facility staff.
abstract: Sexuality is an area that is frequently overlooked by staff who work with the elderly in nursing facilities. The nursing literature supports a need for education of nursing facility staff about sexual issues and concerns of facility residents. This article describes the effect of an educational intervention on one sample of facility staff and recommends strategies for the education and practice of staff members employed in nursing facilities.
