Abstract

This study was conducted to examine problematic areas related to sexual life of individuals with gynecological cancer. Qualitative phenomenological research design was used in the study. The data were collected through “Semistructured In-depth Interview Form” and “Individual Information Form” with 30 women diagnosed with gynecological cancer. In-depth interview technique was used for obtaining data related to sexual problem areas of women. The data obtained were evaluated by content analysis. Average age of women who participated in the study was 46.70±10.66 (min=30, max=67), and women who were followed for the diagnosis of endometrium cancer (53.3%), ovarian cancer (36.7%), cervical cancer (10%). It was determined that there were significant changes in sexual lives of the individuals following the illness, and that body image, role of sexuality, sexual functions and reproduction ability, which are the four important components of sexual health, were affected unfavorably to a great extent. It was determined in this study that individuals with gynecological cancer face multidimensional problems regarding sexual life. Adoption of holistic approach by health professionals in the evaluation of sexual problems of women and attempting to solve the problem are of significance.

Özet

Bu çalışma jinekolojik kanserli bireylerin cinsel yaşama ilişkin sorun alanlarını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, niteliksel fenomenolojik bir araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya 30 jinekolojik kanser tanısı alan kadın katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında; Hasta Bilgi Formu ve Yarı Yapılandırılmış Derinlemesine Görüşme Formu kullanılmıştır. Soruların çözümlemesi içerik analizi yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan kadınların yaş ortalaması 46.70±10.66’dır (min=30, max=67). Kadınların %53.3’ünün tanısı endometrium kanseri, %36.7’sinin over kanseri ve %10’unun ise serviks kanseridir. Bireylerin hastalık sonrası cinsel yaşamlarında önemli değişikler olduğu, cinsel sağlığın dört önemli öğesi olan beden imajı, cinsiyet rolü, cinsel fonksiyonlar ve üreme yeteneğinin büyük ölçüde olumsuz etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Çalışmamızda jinekolojik kanserli bireylerin cinsel yaşama ilişkin çok boyutlu sorunlarla karşılaştıkları belirlenmiştir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin kadınların cinsel sorunlarının değerlendirilmesinde holistik yaklaşımı benimsemeleri ve sorunun çözümü için girişimde bulunmaları önem taşımaktadır.
