How men and women view the world: a sexual perspective.

This papers presents a number of views on men and women and how they react to one another. Very little attention is given to discussing gender issues within nurse education, despite the fact that understanding gender perspectives would have a great impact on nursing care. As the majority of nurses are women and offer a different perspective on life from men, the authors find this issue needs to be addressed at pre- and post-registration levels.

Empathy

Learning to approach patients' sexuality as part of holistic care.

Assessing a patient holistically means assessing him or her with regard to all aspects of his or her personality. As sexuality is an intricate part of everyone's personality, it should be taken into account in comprehensive nursing care. If nurses are to approach the issue of patients' sexuality and how their illness may affect it, they must first be sure they feel confident and knowledgeable to do so. This paper looks at how carers can explore their own beliefs and inhibitions regarding sexuality.
