简要总结
This study looks at how bladder cancer and removing the bladder can affect women's sexual well-being. Bladder cancer can be more serious in women, and treatment like bladder removal can impact how they feel about themselves and their relationships. Women who've gone through this say it's important to talk about and get support for their sexual recovery.
The study has three main parts. First, it reviews what is already known. Next, it involves talking to women with bladder cancer and the doctors and nurses who care for them. Finally, the team will use what they learn to create a toolkit to help healthcare workers support women's sexual recovery.
Women with bladder cancer are helping to design this study. Their input shapes the questions and tools. The final toolkit will include training for doctors and nurses and be shared online and through charities. The aim is to make this part of regular healthcare.
详细描述
Background & Aims Bladder cancer is one of the top ten cancers in the UK. In women, it can be more aggressive, meaning it can be more harmful. Bladder cancer often needs invasive treatment or procedures such as bladder removal. This can cause problems with a woman's sexual well-being and recovery.
There are different types of bladder cancer, and each requires a different treatment. In high-risk types, a more intensive treatment is required. The patient may need to have their bladder removed. The bladder is replaced with an alternative option for urine drainage such as a bag on the skin. In bladder removal, evidence tells us that there will be an impact on a woman's sexual well-being.
Sexual recovery is an important aspect of personal wellbeing and quality of life after cancer treatment. We have worked with women to develop this proposal and they tell us this is important to them.
This study aims to examine this aspect of well-being in women with bladder cancer and having bladder removal. The study will develop a toolkit alongside women to support sexual recovery in this group of patients.
What will the study involve? The study has been designed in stages to breakdown the individual elements.
