Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To examine adolescent and young adult (AYA) testicular cancer survivors' subjective understanding of the impact of cancer in adolescence and young adulthood, with a particular emphasis on romantic and sexual relationships.
METHODS
Twenty-one AYA testicular cancer survivors, aged 18 to 34 years, were recruited from outpatient testicular cancer follow-up clinics and completed a semi-structured qualitative interview that assessed the impact of testicular cancer on their romantic and sexual relationships.
RESULTS
Four themes were identified that reflected survivors' understanding of the impact of cancer in adolescence and young adulthood: (1) embarrassment leads to delays in care-seeking, (2) testicular cancer makes you feel different from others, (3) being different from others makes you damaged goods, and (4) cancer disclosure is difficult.
CONCLUSIONS
As these themes represent important components of being in a romantic/sexual relationship, either currently or in the future, AYA testicular cancer survivors would benefit from the development of tailored interventions focused on improving these relevant domains.
摘要
目的
探讨青少年和年轻成人（AYA）睾丸癌幸存者对癌症在青少年和年轻成人时期影响的主观认知，特别关注恋爱和性关系。
方法
从门诊睾丸癌随访诊所招募了 21 名年龄在 18 至 34 岁的 AYA 睾丸癌幸存者，他们完成了一项半结构化的定性访谈，评估了睾丸癌对其恋爱和性关系的影响。
结果
确定了四个主题，反映了幸存者对青少年和年轻成人时期癌症影响的理解：（1）尴尬导致寻求治疗的延迟；（2）睾丸癌使你感觉与他人不同；（3）与他人不同会使你变得有缺陷；（4）癌症披露困难。
结论
由于这些主题代表了目前或未来恋爱/性关系的重要组成部分，AYA 睾丸癌幸存者将受益于制定针对这些相关领域的个性化干预措施。
