| Abstract |
To determine the frequency with which physicians address their older adult patients with chronic pain about the issue of sexuality. It is a cross sectional, descriptive, analytical study in which physicians answered a questionnaire comprising questions related to addressing the issue of sexuality during appointments. A sample of 155 physicians was obtained, 63.9% stated they did not address sexuality in medical interviews and 23.2% did it most of the time. The main reasons for not addressing were lack of time, fear of embarrassing the patient and technical inability to address the issue. There is a need to develop strategies to increase and improve addressing of sexuality in elderly patients with chronic pain, in order to have better quality of life. Determinar a frequência com que os médicos abordam o assunto de sexualidade com seus pacientes mais idosos com dor crônica. Este é um estudo transversal, descritivo, analítico em que os médicos responderam a um questionário com perguntas relativas à abordagem de sexualidade nas consultas. Uma amostra de 155 médicos foi obtida, 63,9% afirmaram que não realizavam a abordagem da sexualidade e 23,2% afirmaram fazê-la na maior parte das vezes. As principais razões para não abordarem foram falta de tempo, medo de constranger o paciente e incapacidade técnica para abordar o assunto. Existe uma necessidade de desenvolver estratégias para aumentar e melhorar a abordagem de sexualidade em idosos com dor crônica, de forma a melhorar sua qualidade de vida. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 July 2016.
All research outputs
#20,655,488
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Einstein (São Paulo)
#421
of 576 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#295,035
of 399,674 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Einstein (São Paulo)
#23
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 576 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,674 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
