Abstract
Purpose of review: Although healthcare providers are increasingly interested in addressing their female patient's sexual wellbeing in a holistic fashion, most do not receive training in how to conceptualize the complex interactions between mind, body and spirit that drive health and wellness, let alone how to apply empirical data in any of these dimensions to their individual patients. Here, we present a simple mind-body-spirit model, grounded in an integrative medicine approach, to help translate research on sexual functioning and satisfaction into a shared decision-making plan for the management and enhancement of women's sexual wellness.
Recent findings: In considering the dimensions of physical and behavioral health, spirituality and sensuality, physicians can help women orient to the ways in which their sexual healthcare can address their core values and connection to others, which in turn can improve sexual satisfaction. The application of the model is outlined in a case study.
Summary: Too often female sexual wellbeing is not discussed in the medical setting and this mind-body-spirit model is a tool that health care providers could use address this important aspect of well-being.
