Purpose:
To investigate the relationship among sexual functioning, sexual script flexibility, and sexual satisfaction in individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Design:
Cross-sectional online survey.
Participants:
Sixty-one men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer.
Methods:
Online survey of sexual functioning, sexual script flexibility, and sexual satisfaction. Ordinal logistic regression investigated predictors of sexual satisfaction.
Findings:
Greater sexual script flexibility was associated with a greater likelihood of being sexually satisfied.
Conclusions:
Helping patients explore different ways of being sexual after treatment could help with sexual satisfaction maintenance.
Implications:
Patients' sexual satisfaction may benefit from discussions of issues related to sexuality and ways to work around treatment-related sexual dysfunction with healthcare providers.
