GyneGals Support Group

Catherine C. Classen, PhD

There is a high prevalence of sexual and body image problems among women treated for gynecologic cancer, which can lead to considerable distress. Given the sensitive and highly personal nature of these problems, women are often reluctant to speak to their doctors about these concerns and have few resources for support and information. The research team will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trail (RCT) to test the benefits of "GyneGals," a 12-week online (i.e. Internet-based) support group intervention for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and its treatment.

The primary aim of this study is to determine whether a professionally-facilitated, information-rich, online support group is beneficial for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and the side effects of treatment.

13-item self-report scale that measures sexually-related distress in women.

25-item measure developed for cancer patients and can be completed by women regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have a partner.

Consists of two independent scales designed to assess changes in sexuality and body image before and after diagnosis.

14-item self-report questionnaire for detecting depression and anxiety in a hospital outpatient setting.

EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC BLS-24 questionnaire

Peter B Østergren, MD

The purpose of the study is to investigate sexual function in patients suspected of non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The investigators hypothesis is that reduced sexual function is underdiagnosed in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and that active examination and treatment may worsen the sexual function.

The aim of this survey study is to provide broad information as reported by cancer survivors and their intimate partners about both their sexual health and their experiences of care from the United Kingdom hospital cancer team, including their perspectives on factors that may hinder or help care. This information will be analysed and used to inform the questions asked in a separate, subsequent, qualitative study.
