Background Women with mental illness are a disadvantaged
group both in terms of their gender and because of their mental
disorders, and they experience serious problems related to repro-
ductive health.
The high rates of unplanned and unwanted pregnancies among
women with schizophrenia underscore the importance of under-
standing their attitudes and practices related to family planning.
Different studies reveal that even though many sexually active
women with serious mental illnesses do not want to become preg-
nant, they do not use birth control.
Objectives Release last data about contraceptionmethods among
patients with severe mental illness after doing a bibliographical
review. Also reflect present setup in Motril day hospital women
patients and their relationship with sexuality and contraception.
At the same time we intend to clarify and unify the proceedings
on ethical problems respecting subject’s autonomy, beneficence,
qualification and minors’ protection.
Methods Data were collected through face-to-face interviews
and a questionnaire based on the literature and prepared by the
researchers which was designed to determine the kinds of repro-
ductive health issues the patients were experiencing.
Results It was found that female patients with psychiatric dis-
orders had more negative attributes with regard to contraception
approach and sexuality compared with a corresponding healthy
population.
Conclusions We reached an agreement about future contracep-
tion approaches in Motril day hospital users as part of the global
treatment offered in our section.
Motril Hospital gynaecology service has facilitated the proceed-
ings for contraceptive subcutaneous implants insertion in those
indicated women.
Day hospital patients were instructed individually and through
group work about healthy sexuality.

Introduction Societal changes in the last decades led to the arise
of new paradigms on gender equity. Studies addressing fertil-
ity/infertility issues have been conducted mainly in women and
in this research area, male partners have deserved less attention.
More recently there has been a major focus on the idea that fer-
tility/infertility aspects have to be conceptualized from a couples’
perspective.
Goals The current study sought to explore attitudes towards
gamete donation and surrogacy in a sample of young men in repro-
ductive age.
Methods A total of 111 males with ages ranging from 18 to 40
years old and without children completed an online questionnaire
addressing attitudes towards gamete donation and surrogacy.
Results The majority of participants (77.3%) would be willing to
donate their sperm, and their mainmotivation for doing that would
be to feel “happy to help a couple struggling to have a child”. Partic-
ipants stated that the likelihood of donating would increase if they
were able to attend counseling, to complete the procedure in an
IVF center located in their residence area, and being provided with
more information about infertility. Regarding surrogacy 82% are in
favor of this procedure legalization and 49.5% would be willing to
use it if they needed.
Conclusion Men showed a positive attitude towards spermdona-
tion and surrogacy, emphasizing the importance of counseling and
information availability on these topics. This may suggest that they
are willing to get involved when fertility issues are addressed.

Introduction The term “sexual minority” includes a variety of
gender and sexual identities and expressions that differ from cul-
tural norms. Usually, sexual minorities are comprised of lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
Objectives/aims Definition of the correct terminology for sexual
orientation, sexual behaviors, gender identity, gender expression
and gender dysphoria.
Methods Literature review concerning researched articles pub-
lished in Pubmed/Medline as well as related bibliography.
Results Human sexuality is a broad concept that embodies
interaction among anatomy, hormones, physiology, psychology,
interpersonal relationships and sociocultural influences.
Healthcare providers can support sexual minorities by normalizing
sexuality throughout childhood, early identification of gender or
sexual orientation nonconformity and associated psychosocial and
health concerns, helping parents support their child, assisting with
decisions about disclosure and providing educational resources to
the community.
Conclusions This work focuses on providing more awareness
about this topic and reducing stigma associatedwith sexual minori-
ties.
