Sexual Experience, Psychological Implications, and Typical Response Strategies Among Childhood Cancer Survivors With Sexual Dysfunction in China: A Qualitative Study
The present findings contribute to our understanding of sexual experience, psychological factors, and coping strategies to sexual problems among CCSs. The findings indicate that psychology is a significant factor for CCSs with sexual dysfunction and identify the mediating role of attention and self-compassion. Future research should develop an appropriate intervention based on the underlying psychological mechanisms of sexual dysfunction to improve the overall sexual function in CCSs.
