Abstract

Sexuality is an integral part of each individual’s life that contributes to his or her lifelong identity. Women in the climacteric process are usually subject to changes in the experience of their sexuality. It is intended to characterize which nursing interventions promote the experience of sexuality with women in climacteric phase. Scoping review is used - inclusion criteria, participants: women in climacteric phase; context: where women in the climacteric phase resort to nursing care; concepts: sexuality, nursing, menopause, climacteric and women's health. For the research expression, the Booleans of AND and OR were used, articulating with the descriptors MeSH, in the EBSCO platform. The results reveal that menopausal women can experience sexuality in a different way through facilitated access to information, education and guidance of maternal health and obstetrics specialist nurses.
