Purpose: This study aimed to identify sexuality for women with gynecological cancer.
Methods: A total of seven women with gynecological cancer agreed to participate in this study. The data were collected utilizing in-depth semi-structured interviews style. A descriptive study design was used in this study. The interviews were analyzed using inductive content analysis methodology.
Results: Three themes identified were: ’women with gynecological cancer who give up their sexual life due to misunderstanding and fear’, ’women with gynecological cancer who control their body and mind for recovery’, ’women with gynecological cancer resume their sexual life with their partner’s will’.
Conclusion: To improve sexual health and quality of life for women with gynecological cancer, we need to develop programs related to sexual health. An adjusted sexual health program will contribute to increased sexual health and quality of life for women with gynecological cancer.
