Abstract

From desire to orgasm, sexuality, in women and men, is underpinned by a complex organic, psychological and emotional function. Sexual dysfunction encompasses diverse aetiologies, including chronic diseases and iatrogenesis resulting from medication or surgery. The effects of a chronic disease can have an impact on all phases of the sexual response.

Keywords: chronic disease; maladie chronique; personalised care project; projet de soins personnalisé; psychologie; psychology; sexuality; sexualité.
