Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Sexual Health
  • Patient Support

Background:

  • Sexual health is a critical quality-of-life aspect for cancer survivors.
  • Discussion of sexual health issues between healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients is often inadequate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess clinical oncology HCPs' knowledge and comfort levels regarding sexual health discussions.
  • To understand patients' attitudes, beliefs, and information needs concerning sexual health.

Main Methods:

  • Surveys administered to HCPs.
  • Focus groups conducted with patients.
  • Descriptive statistics for survey data and content analysis for qualitative responses.

Main Results:

  • Most HCPs recognize the importance of discussing sexual concerns but report insufficient training and discomfort.
  • Patients seek timely information, online resources, and printed materials.
  • Patients desire involvement of significant others and support from providers, peers, and other survivors.

Conclusions:

  • There is a significant gap in HCP preparedness and comfort in addressing cancer-related sexual health issues.
  • Patients have specific, unmet needs for information and support regarding sexual health during and after cancer treatment.
  • Future interventions should focus on improving HCP education and providing comprehensive patient resources for sexual health.
