Sexual health of female breast cancer survivors and their partners

The findings of this study highlight the importance of considering couple dynamics in breast cancer care. Patients and partners have unmet needs concerning sexual health in the context of breast cancer. Addressing sexuality may improve quality of life and psychosocial adjustment. Future research should include larger, more diverse samples and focus on assessing sexuality and sexual health as multidimensional constructs in line with WHO (World Health Organization) definitions.

Abstract

The findings of this study highlight the importance of considering couple dynamics in breast cancer care. Patients and partners have unmet needs concerning sexual health in the context of breast cancer. Addressing sexuality may improve quality of life and psychosocial adjustment. Future research should include larger, more diverse samples and focus on assessing sexuality and sexual health as multidimensional constructs in line with WHO (World Health Organization) definitions.
