Autoestima y satisfacción sexual en parejas con un integrante diagnosticado con lesión medular (paraplejia y cuadriplejia).

Abstract

Research on relationships and sexuality in disabled people today are a fundamental tool in the academic and personal development of any psychologist, through this research we were able to describe sexual satisfaction and self-esteem in couples where one of its members presents diagnosis of spinal cord injury (paraplegia or quadriplegia). In this study we worked with three couples where one of the members present diagnosis of spinal cord injury, particularly men, this research has qualitative predominance but it's mixed, making use of some instruments such as semi-structured interview, a new scale of sexual satisfaction (NSS) and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. The most important conclusion is directed towards the non - existence of a link between self-esteem and sexual satisfaction
