The issue of sexual dysfunctions in patients with cancer
 HLAVEŠOVÁ, Blažena
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of sexual dysfunctions in patients with cancer. Objectives: To determine the influence of cancer on the sexuality of patients and the quality of their lives, to describe the issue of sexual dysfunctions. To find out whether nurses are educating patients on sexuality. Methodology and research set: Four research questions were identified. How do cancer diseases and their treatment affect the sexuality of patients and the quality of their lives? How are patients informed about the issue of sexual dysfunction in connection with cancer and its treatment? What is the level of knowledge and experience of nurses with education in cancer patients in the field of sexuality? The qualitative research was used. Two research files were processed by open coding using the pencil-paper method and the data were categorized. The first group consisted of 10 patients determined by the snowball method. Five categories and 13 subcategories were identified. The second sample consisted of 10 nurses selected by the method of deliberate selection of nurses working in the oncology department or outpatient department in the South Bohemian Region. 4 categories and 11 subcategories have been identified. Results: It has been found that nurses do not educate patients in the field of sexuality. They do not have enough experience with education or knowledge, patients are rather taught by a doctor. Oncological diseases affect the sexuality of patients and the quality of their lives. Patients are not sufficiently informed about the issue of sexual dysfunctions related to cancer, they would welcome more information. In most cases, they are shy to ask their problems, the most common sexual dysfunction is the lack of appetite, thus manifested by a lack of interest in sex. They are more often informed about the treatment. Patients are greatly assisted by a partner or family. Use in practice: The obtained results can be used as a possible educational material for nurses to improve communication with cancer clients in the nursing process or as a suggestion for further research investigations.
