AnnotationSexuality remains a challenging and complex aspect of nursing practice, which involves daily contact with patients' bodies, emotions, relationships and lives in general. This creates a delicate interface between the professional and personal aspects in nurses' lives. Nurses are professional carers, who may or may not experience sexuality in their own lives. They also have a range of individual and deeply held beliefs, values, desires and difficulties. The authors outline effective assessment of this area of patient care. (RH).
