Project Details
Sexual problems are a common and distressing effect of cancer and its treatment. Sexual dysfunction affects the majority of female survivors of breast and colorectal cancer, the most common cancers in women. We take a biopsychosocial approach to research measuring and treating sexual problems in this population. In this context, in addition to considering student-initiated proposals in this research area, we offer an opportunity to undertake qualitative research describing the experiences of health professionals treating these problems. One such project will concern the feasibility and acceptability of distance health technology among physical therapists who treat sexual problems caused by pelvic floor dysfunction in this population.
