Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of nursing students, members of the Tutorial Education Program (PET) Nursing in view of the extension actions developed with the elderly about sexuality in the elderly and exposure to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Experience report: The study was developed based on the experience of the members of PET Nursing in implementing a workshop aimed at the elderly about sexuality in the elderly and STIs. The activity was developed in 2019, in an event held, annually, through a federal university in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The actions proposed to address the theme, were divided into two moments: the “Bingo da Sexualidade” and the “Bailão da Sexualidade”. The questions elaborated for the dynamics addressed the most prevalent STIs and symptoms, preventive exams available in SUS, intimate hygiene care and issues related to self-esteem. Final considerations: The evidence found in the activities developed, demonstrates the pertinence of the approach on the theme, since there is a lack of information for this public, regarding the aspects of sexuality and STIs. The developed workshop could be considered a health education tool capable of providing the elderly with an environment of integration, exchange and construction of knowledge.
