Background: Although people who sustain a stroke can experience sexual difficulties, few address them during rehabilitation. Objectives: Explore the feasibility of implementing a Sexuality Interview Guide (SIG) in stroke rehabilitation and describe the factors perceived as influencing its implementation. Materials and Methods: Using a mixed research design, the SIG was implemented for four months in a rehabilitation hospital. The frequency with which clinicians addressed sexuality and their level of comfort pre-post implementation was measured. Perceived factors influencing implementation were determined through individual interviews and focus groups with five stroke clients, 15 clinicians and a coordinator. A paired-specimen Wilcoxon test was used to explore differences in pre- post-level of comfort. Qualitative data was analyzed by two independent evaluators using thematic analysis. Results: The SIG was used 28 times and clinicians' level of comfort in addressing sexuality improved significantly (p = 0.001). The factors perceived as influencing implementation were: the acceptability of the SIG, the individual characteristics, the context of the rehabilitation hospital and the implementation process. Conclusion: This study showed that the SIG can be used in stroke rehabilitation and that, with sufficient financial and human resources, and training for clinicians, it would be feasible to implement it in usual care.
