Objectives:
To explore the intersectionality of sexual health and cancer survivorship care in women among minority groups as well as their partners to illuminate the unique challenges faced.
Sample & Setting:
Women cancer survivors cohabitating with a partner for at least six months in the Tampa Bay area in Florida who self-identify as a sexual, racial, or ethnic minority (n = 11) and their partners (n = 3) were included in the study.
Methods & Variables:
Semistructured interviews were conducted to gain an understanding of survivor and partner experiences and perspectives related to sexual healthcare delivery after cancer.
Results:
Providers often failed to address survivors' sexual health. Participants felt uncomfortable discussing sexual health with their providers because of their backgrounds, experiences, and cultural taboos about sex. Some participants experienced a lack of partner support to pursue sexual health interventions.
Implications For Nursing:
Oncology nurses and advanced practice professionals need to be trained to prioritize sexual health among minority women cancer survivors and facilitate comfortable, culturally competent conversations about sexual health.
