Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a SHIP (Sexual Health Improvement Program) for women with gynecologic cancer and to evaluate the program effect. Methods: The SHIP was developed using a needs assessment derived from an in-depth interview and analysis of literature based on the sexual health framework. This program consisted of providing information about sexuality, Kegel exercises, group art activities, and psychodrama and group counseling. The program was held for two hours, once a week for six weeks. A pre-post quasi-experimental design was employed (experimental group 15 and control group 15). Data collecting was conducted by using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), as well as body image and sexual communication questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: The SHIP experimental group showed significantly increased scores for FSFI (U=31.00, p<.001), body image (U=50.00, p=.009), and sexual communication (U=26.00, p<.001) compared with the control group. Conclusion The SHIP adopted in this study was found to be an effective method to increase sexual function, body image, and sexual communication for women with gynecologic cancer, and is therefore recommended.

A 35-year-old man, with a previous history of intermittent generalized seizure attacks since 13 years of age, presented with status epilepticus and spastic right hemiparesis. Plain skull films showed a mottled, granular calcified core and a surrounding halo of calcification in the subcortical area of the central fissure, and a smooth erosion of the overlying skull inner table. Left carotid angiogram revealed neither definite mass effect nor abnormal vascularities. Surgery through a left parietal craniotomy was performed. Upon direct inspection of the brain a 2.5+/-3.0cm, stony hard, generally circular mass was noted within the left frontal lobe. Although embedded within the frontal lobe, the mass was partially covered by a gliotic cyst which might be made from cortical tissue. The tumor was obviously calcified, demonstrating numerous superficial white excrescences, and readily removed without difficulty. Microscopic, pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of densely calcified arteriovenous malformation. The patient was discharged without any evidence of neurological deficit except dull mentality.
