Abstract

This study aims to assess the factors that contribute to sexual dysfunction among cancer patients in selected hospitals in the city, as well as the coping strategies they adopt to deal with the issue. The study will use a mixed-methods approach, with both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Quantitative data will be collected using a standardised questionnaire administered to cancer patients, which will gather information on their sexual function and quality of life. Qualitative data will be collected through in-depth interviews with cancer patients to gain a more detailed understanding of their experiences with sexual dysfunction and coping strategies. The study's findings will be useful in identifying interventions that can help cancer patients manage sexual dysfunction and improve their quality of life.
