English abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Problems related to changes in sexuality and intimacy are common among women with cancer, which threatens their sexual well-being and intimate relationships. Good relationship quality and perceived partner support can reduce stress associated with sexual changes in women with cancer. The thesis aimed to describe the characteristics of couple-based intervention studies that address sexuality after cancer (study I) and develop, and test the effectiveness of a novel nurse-managed couple-based strengths oriented intervention for women with diverse types of cancer and their intimate partners (studies II and III). A quasi-experimental single-group pre-post-follow-up design was used. The nurse met the participating couples face to face and engaged in three strengths-oriented therapeutic conversations (CO-SOTC) focusing on addressing changes in sexuality and intimacy after cancer.<\/p>\n

Findings from study I suggested a current lack of consensus about how couple-based interventions addressing sexuality after cancer are best structured in terms of content and delivery. The main findings of studies II and III were that women with cancer reported benefits of the intervention with respect to sexual concerns, no significant changes over time were observed related to illness interference on intimacy, and the women with cancer and their intimate partners showed significant improvements in relationship quality and confidence about how their illness beliefs affect sexuality and intimacy. Overall, this doctoral research project offered speculative evidence on how the quality of future couple-based intervention research can be improved to benefit clinical practice. In addition, the findings add new empirical evidence to the very limited pool of couple-based nurse-managed interventions designed to address changes in sexuality and intimacy for women after cancer.<\/p>\n
