Sexual health and chronic illness in childhood
Anne Finnegan Senior Lecturer, University of Teeside
Understanding how the process of socialisation is affected by chronic illness can help the nurse to provide appropriate sexual health education, as Anne Finnegan explains
Children learn about gender and sexuality, sexual relationships and the effects of sexual activity on the individual through a process of socialisation. Chronic illness may affect this developmental process and nurses are in a position to provide information about sexual health to young people with chronic illness.
