The study is investigating the current knowledge, comfort, approaches and attitudes of rehabilitation professionals towards supporting stroke survivors with their sexuality concerns. This is being conducted as research indicates that stroke survivors would appreciate support from health professionals with their post-stroke sexuality, and that many health professionals find this to be a challenging area of practice. The findings may be used to inform the development of resources and training programs for health professionals.

It is being administered via an online survey which is expected to take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
