Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, brakiterapi alan serviks ve endometium kanserli hastalarda cinsel fonksiyonunu değerlendirmek ve cinsel fonksiyonu etkileyen faktörleri incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, katitatif ve kantitatif araştırma tekniğinin kullanıldığı bir çalışmadır. Bu araştırmaya bir Üniversite Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nin Radyasyon Onkoloji Ünitesi’nde 26.10.2018-01.03.2019 tarihleri arasında serviks ve endometrium kanseri nedeniyle brakiterapi alan ve araştırma kritelerine uygun yirmi bir hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Kadın Cinsel İşlev Ölçeği (FSFI) puan ortalaması 19.28±22.72 olup, %66,7’sinde cinsel işlev bozukluğu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Cinsel fonksiyonu etkileyen faktörler; hastalığa verilen tepki, cinsellik ve eşlerin yaklaşımı olmak üzere üç ana tema altında incelenmiştir. Hastalığa verilen tepki temasının altında üzüntü, çaresizlik, hastalığı kabullenme alt temaları; cinsellik ana temasında; cinsel isteksizlik, cinsel ilişkiyi red etme alt temaları; eşlerin yaklaşımı ana temasında ise; hoşgörü ve anal seks alt temaları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Brakiterapi alan servikal ve endometrium kanserli hastalar cinsel fonksiyon bozukluğu yaşamakta ve buna yönelik danışmanlık hizmeti alamamaktadır.
