Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status of quality of sexual life, self-acceptance and self-disclosure in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy after surgery, and analyze the mediating effect of self-disclosure between self-acceptance and quality of sexual life.Methods:Using convenience sampling, 209 female patients with breast cancer undergoing postoperative chemotherapy in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Zhuhai from January to October 2022 were selected for investigation by using the General Information Questionnaire, Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire for Breast Cancer Survivors, Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ) and Distress Disclosure Index (DDI). Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between quality of sexual life, self-acceptance and self-disclosure in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery. Bootstrap mediating effect method was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-disclosure between self-acceptance and quality of sexual life in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery.Results:The scores of the quality of sexual life (average score of items), self-acceptance and self-disclosure of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery were (2.69±0.59), (38.61±5.32) and (35.90±5.73) respectively. The quality of sexual life of patients was positively correlated with self-acceptance and self-disclosure, and self-acceptance had a mediating effect on the quality of sexual life through self-disclosure ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The quality of sexual life of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery needs to be improved. Helping patients increase their self-acceptance and self-disclosure level will help them improve their quality of sexual life.
