Abstract: Sexuality is an integral part of our existence. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can complicate the lifelong course of sexual development and the ways in which one defines and expresses sexuality. Unfortunately, these issues are not adequately addressed by the health professionals involved in the rehabilitation process. Present research attempts to study the effect that can arise on the sexual and relational satisfaction of couples having a partner with MS after the implementation of a sexual rehabilitation program. 60 couples where one partner has MS and the other does not, were divided into three groups and accepted the PLISSIT (PLISSIT stands for Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, Intensive Therapy) sexual rehabilitation program as follows: Group a (n = 40, control group) completed self-referencing questionnaires at three times (initial measurement, after 10 weeks and 6 months later), group b (n = 40) did 10 weeks of sexual counselling and completed the same questionnaires at the same times and group c (n = 40) followed the PLISSIT programme and was evaluated in the same way at the same times. The implementation of PLISSIT improved Sexual Dysfunction (SD) levels, increased sexual satisfaction between partners along with general relational satisfaction. PLISSIT can be used by professionals involved in the management of the disease as a comprehensive psychosexual rehabilitation program for MS patients and their partners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
