Abstract: | Acknowledging the heightened risk of psychological, physical, and sexual harm for people with brain injury promotes sexual health and safety. Ignoring sexuality concerns is a serious deficit of modern-day rehabilitation programs. This article utilizes a disability lens to form the basis for our scoping review by illustrating how institutions can repress people with disabilities. The literature regarding brain injury shows socio-cultural characteristics undermine efforts to address sexuality programming for people with brain injury. The authors examine the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explore the components for a sexuality re-education program by building a Logic Model. A content analysis approach is used to form a literature map for the Logic Models’ inputs, outputs, and outcomes. Key themes to the sexuality re-education of people with TBI include: anatomical vocabulary, sexual safety, resiliency and rejection, social skills training and communication, and sexual self-identity, amongst others. This article supports the healthy and safe sexual re-adjustment of people with brain injury. Full disclosure through human sexuality re-education ensures people with a brain injury remain active citizens by maintaining equality with their community members. |
