Abstract

Background: Some studies have shown that up to 75% of people with an acquired brain injury (Grubić Kezele et al.) have sexual dysfunction (O’Shea et al., 2020) and yet only 23% of healthcare professionals address sex and intimacy in the ABI population (Low et al., 2022).

Purpose: The purpose of this capstone project was to develop a program to address sex and intimacy in the ABI population by developing education, training, and resources for clinicians, families, and patients.

Outcome: Deliverables included educational handouts, focus groups, Ex-PLISSIT training, and enhanced tools for clinicians to utilize to address sex and intimacy in the ABI population.

Significance: This capstone provided education, resources, and supported clinician training to increase knowledge, access, and comfort with the topic of sex and intimacy.
