Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Sexuality is considered to be an important aspect of quality of life, especially in women who have undergone a kind of breast cancer surgery. Sexual satisfaction is a multi-dimensional vs. complex concept that guarantees the health of BC survivors’ individual, family and social lives. This article carried out in the Golestan university-affiliated teaching hospital, Ahwaz, Iran, seeks to study and compare the impact of socio-demographic factors like age, education, job and economic status on sexual life and enjoyment of females involved in mastectomy/ lumpectomy. To this end, using the revised version of Larson Questionnaire (2010), a total of 64 diagnosed cases of both mastectomy and conservation treatment type aged between15-49 (reproductive age), were matched for socio-demographic status factors mentioned. Results indicate a significant difference between the two groups. Also, the finding reveals the importance of age as an effective factor influencing sexual satisfaction among research participants.
