Farklı kültürlerde jinekolojik ve meme kanserli kadın hastaların seksüaliteye bakış açıları ve yaşadıkları sorunlar
Kanser, tüm dünyada ve ülkemizde giderek artan, biyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal açıdan çok yönlü olarak bireyi etkileyen ve yaşam kalitesini bo- zan bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Dolayısıyla yaşam kalitesinin önemli bir göstergesi olan cinsellik de olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Sosyal çev- reye, dine, kültüre, kişisel deneyimlere bağlı olan subjektif ve kompleks bir fenomen olan cinsellik kültürden ayrı düşünülemez. Toplum içinde kadının ne kadar önemli rollerinin olduğu bilinmektedir. Kanser olan kadın sadece kanser ve tedavilerine bağlı olarak olumsuz yönde etkilen- memekte, sosyo-kültürel açıdan da zorluklar yaşamaktadır. Buradan yola çıkarak, bu derleme makalede, farklı kültürlerin kansere yönelik algı, bil- gi, tutum ve davranışları ile tanı, tedavi sürecinde yaklaşımlarının nasıl olduğu ve bireylerin psiko-sosyal durumları üzerinde ne gibi değişiklik- lere yol açtığı literatür ışığında incelendi.
Sexual aspects of female patients with gynecological and breast cancer in different cultures and their problems
Cancer is a public health problem that affects the individual as versatile in terms of biologically, psychologically and socially, and break downs the quality of life, increasingly on the world and in our country. Therefore, sexuality, which is an important indicator of quality of life, is also affected negatively. Sexuality, a subjective and complex phenomenon that depends on social environment, religious, cultural, personal experiences, can not be considered apart from culture. It is known how important roles women have in society. Women with cancer are not only affected by the negative aspects due to cancer and their treatment, but also have difficulties in socio-cultural terms. Starting from this point, this review article examines the perception, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of different cultures related to cancer, their diagnosis, their approaches to the treatment process and the changes in the psychosocial status of individuals.
