Abstract

Uvod: Rak dojke je najpogostejši rak v ženski populaciji. Bolezen in zdravljenje povzročata pri ženskah spremembe in vplivata na kakovost življenja v času zdravljenja in po njem. Ženske se soočajo s številnimi stranskimi učinki zdravljenja, pogosto se pojavljajo motnje v spolnosti. Razširjenost spolnih motenj pri ženskah z rakom dojk je od 30 do 100 %. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako ženske z rakom dojk doživljajo spolnost, kolikšna je spolna aktivnost in koliko so seznanjene s stranskimi učinki zdravljenja na spolnost. Raziskovalna metodologija: Kvantitativna raziskava je temeljila na vprašalniku o spolnem življenju pred obolenjem ter vprašalniku o spolni aktivnosti po L. Fallowfield. Podatki so bili obdelani v excelovi tabeli ter programu SPSS 17, vprašalnik spolne aktivnosti je bil obdelan po navodilih avtorice. Za kvalitativno analizo so anketiranke prejele vprašanja za intervju v pisni obliki. Izvedli smo analizo besedila. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 300 pacientk na spremljanju po bolezni, 50 na zdravljenju ter po 5 iz obeh skupin za kvalitativno raziskavo. Rezultati: Odzivnost anketirank je bila 56 %. Ob raziskavi je bilo 73 % anketirank starejših od 50 let, največ jih je bilo v obdobju do 5 let od postavitve diagnoze (57%). Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so anketiranke v času raziskave bile statistično pomembno manj spolno aktivne kot v obdobju pred obolenjem (p<0,05), po starostni strukturi so bile anketiranke v obdobju nad 50 let statistično pomembno manj spolno aktivne od anketirank v starosti do 50 let (p<0,05). Pri spolno aktivnih anketirankah je bila izvedena ocena zadovoljstva, neugodja ter primerljivost spolnih navad, vendar ni bilo dokazanih statistično pomembnih razlik glede na kategorije anketirank. Sklep: V raziskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da pacientke z rakom dojk doživljajo spremembe v spolnosti, do katerih pride tudi zaradi drugih vzrokov. Težave se lahko omilijo s primernim in pravočasnim svetovanjem ter nudenjem ustrezne podpore.

Secondary title:	WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER AND THEIR EXPERIENCE SEXUALITY
Secondary abstract:	Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. The disease and treatment cause changes and influence the quality of living during the treatment as well as afterwards. Women are facing numerous side effects of treatment, which often leads to sexual dysfunctions. Prevalence of sexual disorders in women with breast cancer is between 30 to 100 %. The purpose of the research was to establish how the women with breast cancer experience sexuality, what is the scope of their sexual activity and their knowledge about the side effects of treatment on their sexual life. Research methodology: quantitative research was based on a questionnaire about sexual life prior to the disease and on L. Fallowfield’s Sexual Activity Questionnaire. Data was processed in excel table and with software SPSS 17; the sexual activity questionnaire was processed according to the author’s instructions. For the quantitative analysis, the respondents received a questionnaire in written form. We performed a text analysis on the answers. The research included 300 patients that were being monitored after the disease, 50 patients on treatment and 5 patients from each of 2 groups for the qualitative analysis. Results: 56 % of patients responded to the invite. It was established that at the time of research, the respondents were statistically significantly less sexually active that in the period prior to the disease (p<0,05). Considering the age structure, the respondents over the age of 50 were significantly less sexually active than the respondents under 50 (p<0,05). For the sexually active respondents, we also implemented an assessment of satisfaction, discomfort and comparability of sexual habits, but there were no definite statistically significant deviations among the categories of respondents. Conclusion: the research established that breast cancer patients experience changes in sexuality that are also caused by other reasons. The problems can be mitigated by appropriate and timely counseling and support.
