Objetivo: identificar na literatura evidências científicas que influenciam a abordagem da sexualidade na pessoa idosa pelos profissionais de saúde. Método: pesquisa de revisão integrativa, por meio da busca de artigos científicos nas bases MEDLINE e CINAHAL e nas Bibliotecas Virtuais/Repositórios Bibliográficos LILACS, Scielo e Science Direct com enfoque sobre profissionais de saúde e sexualidade em idosos. Resultados: foram selecionados 14 artigos que evidenciaram que a maioria dos profissionais de saúde possuem conhecimento limitado, atitudes variadas e não abordam o assunto proativamente. A ausência de conhecimento e treinamento no assunto, a falta de tempo nas consultas e o desconforto gerado pelo tema foram dificuldades relatadas. Conclusão: a maioria dos profissionais de saúde negligencia a conversa sobre sexualidade com os pacientes mais velhos. A mínima atenção ao assunto proporciona um ambiente embaraçoso tanto para os idosos quanto para os profissionais de saúde.
