ABSTRACT

Research has established sexual health as a main priority for men with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI); nevertheless, it continues to be under-addressed by health-care providers. Therefore, this multiple baseline single case study aims to promote the sexual self-efficacy of men with spinal cord injury using PLISSIT (Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy) model. For this purpose, three male patients with SCI were recruited and the Sexual Self-Efficacy Questionnaire was administered and the data were collected at three baselines, four intervention sessions, and three follow-ups. Data analysis was conducted at the six levels of trend, variability, the immediacy of the effect, overlap, and consistency of data patterns across similar phases. The results of the analysis of the six levels revealed that sexual self-efficacy intervention was successful at promoting the sexual self-efficacy of the patients with SCI. Therefore, the health-care providers are recommended to take into account the sexual self-efficacy of such patients through the implementation of appropriate interventional programmes.

摘要

研究已将性健康确定为脊髓损伤 (SCI) 男性的主要优先事项；然而，医疗保健提供者仍然没有充分解决这一问题。因此，这项多基线单一案例研究旨在使用 PLISSIT（许可、有限信息、具体建议和强化治疗）模型提高脊髓损伤男性的性自我效能。为此，招募了三名男性 SCI 患者，并进行了性自我效能问卷调查，并在三个基线、四个干预期和三个后续行动中收集了数据。数据分析是在趋势、可变性、影响的即时性、重叠和相似阶段的数据模式一致性这六个层次上进行的。六个层次的分析结果表明，性自我效能干预成功地促进了SCI患者的性自我效能。因此，建议医疗保健提供者通过实施适当的干预计划来考虑此类患者的性自我效能。
