Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gender-Sensitive -Sexual Health Education Program (GS-SHEP) in enhancing the sexual health of patients with gynecologic cancer.

Detailed description

This study recruited patients with cervical cancer from the gynecological wards of a large-scale medical center in northern Taiwan. A total of 63 participants were divided into two groups. The control group (n=30) received routine sexual health teaching (a 10-15-minute routine individual sexual health education and a sexual health pamphlet without a gender-sensitive and theoretically based design. The experimental group (n=33) received the GS-SHEP (a 10-15-minute individual sexual health education and a sexual health pamphlet). GS-SHEP effectiveness was examined using a self-report instrument to measure background information and three dependent variables: "sexual knowledge," "sexual attitudes," "sexual self-efficacy", and "sexual activity". Data were collected at baseline, one week, six weeks, four months, and seven months after intervention and analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 20.0.
