Abstract
Objective: To identify directed teachings to the adult’s sexual health, who suffer from cardiac disease. Methodology: It was performed a systematic review of the literature, through a research made on the MEDLINE data base, and on the Complementary Index, based on studies published between January 2015 and October 2020. It is intended to answer the question: Which teachings should be included on the adult’s sexual health who suffer from a cardiac disease? Results/Discussion: Previously defined criteria were applied, and 5 articles selected. It was evident that nurses assume a predominate role on the sexual education of the cardiac disease patient, however there are some gaps when using the teaching methods, since the nurses rarely debate sexual concerns with their patients. Conclusion: There are some scientific evidences regarding the sexual education on a patient with cardiac disease. However, it is required more investigation, and that the nurses become more pro-active on sexual counseling, aiming an improvement on the quality of the care and training of these patients and their partners. Keywords: Cardiac Rehabilitation; Cardiovascular Disease; Myocardial Infarction; Sexual Counseling; Sexual Health.
