- Abstract
One challenge occupational therapy practitioners face in practice is addressing sexuality and intimacy. This doctoral capstone project aims to increase practitioners' level of knowledge, comfort, attitudes, and willingness to address sexuality and intimacy across the continuum of care. A needs assessment across six different UC Health network locations found that each site believed occupational therapy practitioners had a role in addressing sexuality and intimacy, however only one site routinely addressed it. This project strives to establish a culture of shared understanding of the importance of sexuality by providing an education module and resources. The paper emphasizes the importance of addressing sexuality and intimacy in occupational therapy practice and highlights the need for further research to continue the development of educational programs and tools to establish a holistic incorporation of sexuality into clinical practice. Keywords: Occupational therapy practitioners, sexuality, intimacy, educational module, continuum of care.
