This qualitative study was designed to describe women's experiences with changes in sexual function related to physical comfort, sexual satisfaction, and feelings of intimacy post-treatment for gynecological cancer. The 17 women who participated in this study described sexuality as a much broader construct. Contrary to existing literature, sexual functioning was found to be one aspect that contributed to the view of the self as a sexual being, but the women's perceptions were not limited to this single dimension. The identification of multidimensional components to be considered in developing a conceptual model to describe sexual health are presented. This study indicates that sexuality should be viewed as a health issue that has an impact on quality of life.
这项定性研究旨在描述妇科癌症治疗后，女性在性功能变化方面的经历，这些变化涉及身体舒适度、性满意度和亲密感。参与本研究的17名女性将性描述为一个更为宽泛的概念。与现有文献相反，性功能被发现是有助于将自我视为有性别的个体的一个方面，但女性的认知并不局限于这单一维度。本文提出了在构建描述性健康的概念模型时需考虑的多维度组成部分。这项研究表明，性应被视为一个对生活质量有影响的健康问题。
