Despite sexual health being recognised as a fundamental component of well\u2010being, it may be a neglected aspect of care within the context of cardiovascular disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative exploratory study conducted in accordance with COREQ guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted semi\u2010structured interviews with participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a013) aged between 30\u201377\u00a0years who had been diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease. Data were transcribed and subject to thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results\/findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Analysis revealed two major themes\u2014Sexual healthcare information and expectations: <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>expect them to tell m<\/jats:italic>e and Experiences of sexual adversity: <jats:italic>it's<\/jats:italic> <jats:italic>really scary<\/jats:italic>. Although participants expected and welcomed information in relation to their illness and sexual health, this was rarely received. Subsequently, when some participants experienced sexual adversity including erectile dysfunction, they felt anxious and distressed which impacted their intimated relationships. It was often when participants sought information associated with adversity that information was provided and this was primarily in relation to medication associated with assisting dysfunction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Individuals who have cardiovascular disease may require sexual health care. Nurses are well placed to provide information and education associated with cardiovascular disease and associated sexual well\u2010being to promote positive outcomes for individuals and minimise distress around sexual adversity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings highlight the importance of providing clear and accurate information about sexual well\u2010being and function to patients experiencing cardiovascular disease. Provision of information should be considered an essential and routine aspect of care with patients being afforded opportunities to discuss concerns associated with their sexual well\u2010being.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.15820","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,1]],"date-time":"2021-05-01T05:24:35Z","timestamp":1619846675000},"page":"3194-3204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Patient perspectives and experiences of sexual health conversations and cardiovascular disease: A qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4757-2706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leah","family":"East","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Health School of Health University of New England\/Hunter New England Health  Armidale New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5252-5325","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debra","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Susan Wakil School of Nursing University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3747-0087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Manias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health School of Nursing and Midwifery Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research Institute for Health Transformation Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trisha","family":"Dunning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for quality and Patient safety Research School of Nursing and Midwifery Deakin University Barwon Health Partnership  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0025-2681","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie","family":"Hutchinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Human Sciences Southern Cross University  Coffs Harbour New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"issue":"40","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"General practitioner views about discussing sexual issues with patients with coronary heart disease: A national survey in Ireland","volume":"11","author":"Byrne M.","year":"2010","journal-title":"BMC Family Practice"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.12103"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcnurse.2010.05.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.12247"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5172\/conu.2013.44.1.47"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1359105302007003223"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JCN.0000000000000535"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ijcp.13078"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsxm.2016.01.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520\u2010014\u20102327\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1570161115666170609101502"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcnurse.2009.11.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1188\/10.ONF.E186-E190"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/aoms.2017.65332"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijir.3901530"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13454"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.13454"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2010.01778.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","first-page":"365","volume-title":"Research methods in health: Foundations for evidence\u2010based practice","author":"Liamputtong P.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022146516661597"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","first-page":"507","volume-title":"Nursing research: Generating and assessing evidence for nursing practice","author":"Polit D.
