Description
Perez-Garcia and co-authors study how sexual and reproductive health is discussed in rheumatology clinics in a 2024 paper. Inflammatory arthritis can affect male sexual and reproductive health, yet these topics are hard to raise in appointments. The team mapped the viewpoints of doctors and male patients on what shapes those conversations.
They used Q-methodology, where participants rank statements and then explain their choices in interviews. Thirty rheumatologists and thirty male patients took part in each of two countries, the Netherlands and Mexico. The analysis found three viewpoints in each group. Doctors were swayed most by factors such as a patient wish to become a father or a young age. Patients weighed a far wider set, including drug side effects on sexual function.
