Objectives:
The present review aims to identify the existing evidence on outcome-treatment studies of psychological sexual health interventions in older age.
Methods:
A systematic search was conducted for studies published until October 2022. Data search was conducted on EBSCO, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases.
Results:
From 30,840 screened records, 12 reports were selected. Results were grouped into four categories according to the intervention that was implemented.
Conclusions:
Despite results presenting some bias concerns, this review suggests that educational and cognitive-behavioral approaches seem to be effective for promoting sexual health in older age.
