[Improving the sexual quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis].
Helping people with a chronic disease with regard to their sexual wellbeing is part of the nurse's role. In order to be able to offer this support the nurse requires training and needs to work in collaboration with medical staff. The approach consists in assessing the disorders linked to the disease or its treatment which affect the patient's sexual quality of life, advising on potential solutions using medication or mechanical devices and providing the patient with personalised guidance.
