CONTEXT
The sexual health of patients is frequently neglected.
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the attitudes and beliefs of palliative care providers toward discussing the presence of sexual dysfunction (SD) in patients with cancer METHODS: In this pilot study, an anonymous survey was conducted among palliative care professionals about their attitudes toward discussing SD RESULTS: Forty-nine (89%) palliative care providers completed the survey. Thirty-four (69%) responded that they rarely or never discussed sexuality with their patients and most believed it is the oncologist's responsibility. The top reasons for not discussing SD were that the patient did not raise the issue, lack of time and the presence of a third party. The majority acknowledged the need of more training and that printed materials would be helpful.
CONCLUSION
Palliative care providers infrequently address the presence of SD among patients with cancer. Additional training and routine screening for SD might help addressing this problem.
背景
患者的性健康经常被忽视。
目的
评估姑息治疗提供者对讨论癌症患者性功能障碍（SD）存在的态度和信念。
方法
在这项初步研究中，对姑息治疗专业人员进行了一项关于他们对讨论 SD 的态度的匿名调查。
结果
49 名（89%）姑息治疗提供者完成了调查。34 名（69%）表示他们很少或从不与患者讨论性行为，大多数人认为这是肿瘤医生的责任。不讨论 SD 的主要原因是患者没有提出这个问题，缺乏时间和第三方的存在。大多数人承认需要更多的培训，并且认为印刷材料会有帮助。
结论
姑息治疗提供者很少解决癌症患者存在的 SD 问题。额外的培训和对 SD 的常规筛查可能有助于解决这个问题。
