Sexualidad y bienestar psicológico en el adulto mayor

Sexuality and psychological well-being are fundamental life factors in older adulthood due to their impact on mental and emotional health. It requires a deep analysis of research and clinical practice. This research aims to analyze sexuality and psychological well-being in older adults through descriptive, bibliographic, and documentary research. The population comprises 230 scientific articles published from 2014 to 2024 in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Thirty quantitative types of research constitute the non-probabilistic sample. The researcher used the selection criteria and the bibliographic search algorithm for filtering. The information sources are in databases such as PubMed Central, Dialnet, Sage Journals, Redalyc, Elsevier, Journals of Gerontology, UNAM, Google Scholar, and Scielo. It was necessary to apply bibliographic review and documentary quality review as research techniques. Regarding the instruments, the bibliographic review form made it possible to collect data from the sources consulted, and the CRF-QS matrix is an organized guide for the analysis of the articles with an evaluation of 19 items. The results show that the characteristics of sexuality in older adults are influenced by social and cultural factors, such as attitude, desire, practice, education, and sexual satisfaction, the latter being the most impaired to a greater extent by the lack of information and negative stereotypes that act as a barrier to thoroughly enjoying intimacy at this stage of life. Psychological well-being is closely linked to sexual expression and satisfaction. In short, maintaining a healthy lifestyle from an early age through old age preserves sexuality, strengthens positive relationships, and promotes personal well-being.
