【 Purpose 】 The aim of this study was to develop a nursing intervention model in promoting sexuality in the chronically ill older adults. For this purpose, there were three concrete objectives : (1) basic research into clarifying the effects of chronically ill on older adults sexuality ; (2) to develop a nursing intervention model in promoting sexuality of the chronically ill older adults on basic research and review of the literature. The model consists of <a> the promoting sexuality program for the chronically ill older adults ; <b> the staff-education program on sexuality in the chronically ill adults ; and (3) to clinically apply two programs, and examine the effectiveness of the programs.
【 Methods 】 Subjects ; The subjects were older adults with the chronic illness. They were conveniently divided into two groups : those to whom the developed promoting sexuality program was applied (applied group in older adults) and those to whom the program was not applied (control group in older

adults). Also, the other subjects were registered nurses (RNs) who cared for older adults with the chronic illness. They were conveniently divided into two groups : those to whom the developed staff-education program was applied (applied group in RNs) and those to whom the program was not applied (control group in RNs).
Data collection ; The effects of the promoting sexuality program were evaluated at the time of the initial examination (basal status), two weeks later after the initial examination concerning the perceptions of diminish of physical and spiritual power, apologetic feeling in interaction with others, feeling of burden with controlling of chronic illness, the perceptions of diminish of sexual energy, the perceptions of diminish of sexual activities, the perceptions of needs for promoting sexuality. On the other hand, The effects of the staff-education program were evaluated at the time of the initial examination, 2 weeks later after the initial examination concerning the nurse's attitudes to sexuality, the nurse's attitudes and knowledge regarding sexuality in older adult with chronic illness.
【 Results 】 A total of twenty-nine older adults (10 applied group, 19 controls ) were studied. The average scores of apologetic feeling in interaction with others was significantly higher in the applied group (p<.05). Regarding the other variables, there were no significant difference between the two groups. Also, a total of fifty-seven RNs (16 applied group, 37 controls) were studied. The average scores of the nurse's attitudes to sexuality and the nurse's attitudes and knowledge regarding sexuality in older adult with chronic illness were lower in the applied, but there were no significant difference between the two groups.
