Sexualidade da pessoa vivenciando a ostomia intestinal: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Objective: To identify and analyze the scientific production about the impact on the sexuality of the person who experiences the ostomy condition. Methodology: an integrative review articles in Scielo databases, BDENF and Lilacs. For the analysis were considered online articles available, with the following inclusion criteria: articles with Qualis between A1 and B2, in Portuguese language available in its entirety; as an exclusion criterion - letters to the editor, opinion articles, case studies, studies without clear methodology and, inability to access the complete publication printed or online. Results: we found six articles. After analysis, the results were listed in some dimensions, respecting the order of relevance brought by studies: psycho-emotional changes; physical and social changes; multi support. Discussion: ostomy patient has sexuality changed mainly at the expense of self-esteem, than by the physical limitation. In assistance to the ostomy patient, sexuality is a topic rarely addressed by health professionals, so this stir is perpetuated by both professionals and the ostomy. Thus, it is evident that sexuality under the aegis of misinformation sets up a conditioning element of the process of "assexualização" the stoma. Conclusion: The study enabled us to understand that the ostomy patient presents real changes in their daily lives. biopsychosocial nature changes with a major challenge, daily, to maintain social networks (work and leisure) and sexuality, because they feel insecure and fear of rejection. Final Thoughts: In the course of this work there was no interest in drafting a critique that aims only, the incongruity of social values such as beauty, body, sexuality, hygiene and self-control, but give subsidies to those who read or those who experience this condition invalidate this process of violation and significant losses in all aspects of human life, especially in sexuality experiences.
