Abstract:
Background: Cancer diagnosis and treatments cause sexual dysfunction in patients. Sexual function is one of the most important aspects of quality of life. However, in previous studies, qualitative methods have been less accentuated to explore in to the sexual experiences and feelings of cancer patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the experiences of Iranian women affected with cancer about their sexual quality of life.Method: A qualitative descriptive study with a conventional content analysis approach was performed on a targeted sample of ۲۸ Iranian women with cancer from October ۲۰۱۸ to February ۲۰۲۰. Data were collected through face to face and in depth semi structured interviews until data saturation was attained.Results: Data analysis revealed four themes and ۱۱ categories. The emerged themes were entitled: “Changing sexual capacity”, “physical consequences”, “sexual self-sacrifice” and “Changing woman’s identity”.Conclusion: Women with cancer experience many sexual problems such as reduced orgasm, lack of pleasure, and pain during sex. Due to the taboo of sexual issues, especially for women, many of them are embarrassed to ask their questions to the medical staff and for this reason, their problems will remain unresolved. The support of their spouses and the social can play an important role in facilitating coping. Health care providers have an important role in assessing and improving patients’ quality of life.
