Abstract

Sexuality in geriatrics poses ethical dilemmas, particularly for patients with cognitive disorders. What is the place of consent, presumption of competence and caregiver responsibility? A tool structuring these questions has facilitated collective decisions in the cognitive-behavioral unit to ensure respectful support for intimate relationships between patients. Ongoing reflection remains essential for optimal care.

Keywords: cognitive-behavioral unit; consent; consentement; ethics; responsabilité; responsibility; sexuality; sexualité; unité cognitive et comportementale; éthique.
