Rosemary Gravelle and Gregory McCrea
wish to thank the more than 400
Ontario Physicians
who participated in their research
"The Role of
Physician Comfort with Sexual
Healthcare Issues and its Impact on the
Frequency of Sexual Healthcare Provision".
The Research
To date, limited data has been collected on the effect that the physician's
subjective experience of comfort and perceived patient comfort has on the
provision of sexual healthcare.
The Purpose
To determine the physician's subjective experience of comfort as sexual
healthcare provider, their subjective perception of their patient's
comfort with themselves in their role of sexual healthcare provider, and its
relationship to the frequency and nature of sexual healthcare provided.
The Results
Provision of sexual healthcare was more frequent when the physician perceived their
patients to have a high level of comfort in discussing sexual matters. Also,
physicians reporting a higher level of comfort discussing sexual matters with their
patients had higher scores in the frequency of sexual healthcare provision. Attitude,
knowledge, training, gender and community size also affected the frequency of
sexual healthcare provision.
A copy of these research
results, as well as copies of the papers listed are available to physicians and healthcare
providers. Please contact Limerence Centre and indicate what you wish to be provided with.
