Let's talk about sex: exploring factors influencing the discussion of sexual health among chronically Ill patients in general practice.

Background: Chronic diseases are often associated with sexual dysfunction (SD). Little is known about the practice patterns of general practitioners (GPs) regarding sexual care for chronically ill patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine; to what extent GPs discuss SD with chronically ill patients; the barriers that may stop them; and the factors associated with discussing SD.

Psychological risk factors that characterize the trajectories of quality of life after a physical trauma: a longitudinal study using latent class analysis.

Background: The course and corresponding characteristics of quality of life (QOL) domains in trauma population are unclear. Our aim was to identify longitudinal QOL trajectories and determine and predict the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological characteristics of trajectory membership in physical trauma patients using a biopsychosocial approach.

Methods: Patients completed a questionnaire set after inclusion, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months follow-up.
