Existing evidence suggests that sexual issues are poorly handled during the rehabilitation phase of the patient's journey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A descriptive qualitative design was utilized in this study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010nine people with spinal cord injury participated in qualitative in\u2010depth interviews between November 2017 and April 2018, and data were analysed using the Burnard (1991, <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/0260-6917(91)90009-y\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/0260-6917(91)90009-y<\/jats:ext-link>) thematic analysis framework.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Some participants indicated they were sexually inactive prior to their spinal cord injury.
