Nurses’ attitudes toward addressing sexual health in their professional practice within cancer care: a Danish cross-sectional study
While many Danish oncology and hematology nurses report feeling comfortable discussing sexual health, significant barriers remain. Training and access to relevant resources are associated with greater perceived preparedness. Our findings highlight a critical need for ongoing education and institutional support to integrate sexual health as a standard component of oncology and hematology nursing care.
