Gynecological cancers can cause changes in women's sexual life.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting sexual quality of life (SQoL) of women with gynecological cancer.
A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used. The study was conducted on 276 women with gynecological cancers in Turkey. Information form and SQoL scale was used in the study. The data were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test.
The SQoL mean score was 68.83 ± 21.17. There was no significant difference in the SQoL mean score according to the individual/sociodemographic characteristics or gynecological cancer-related characteristics. However, it was found that the difference was due to higher SQoL score in the group with a diagnosis time of 25 months and above (KW (Χ) = 6.356, P = 0.046).
The reason for significant difference in the SQoL mean score according to diagnosis over time might be that women adapted to cancer diagnosis. For this reason, the SQoL of women with a diagnosis time of < 25 months should be assessed and these women should be supported.
妇科癌症会导致女性性生活发生变化。
本研究旨在评估影响妇科癌症女性性生活质量（SQoL）的因素。
采用描述性横断面研究设计。对土耳其276名妇科癌症女性进行了研究。研究中使用了信息表和SQoL量表。数据采用曼-惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验进行评估。
SQoL平均得分为68.83±21.17。根据个人/社会人口学特征或妇科癌症相关特征，SQoL平均得分无显著差异。然而，发现诊断时间为25个月及以上的组中SQoL得分较高，差异有统计学意义（KW（Χ）=6.356，P=0.046）。
根据诊断时间不同，SQoL平均得分存在显著差异的原因可能是女性适应了癌症诊断。因此，应评估诊断时间<25个月的女性的SQoL，并为这些女性提供支持。
