Brief Title: Sexuality of Women With Pelvic Cancer
Official Title: Longitudinal Study of the Couple Relationship of Women With Pelvic Cancer: Impact on Sexuality
Study ID: NCT04070950
Brief Summary: This study aims to study in patients with cancer of the cervix or the body of the uterus, or the ovary between the time of diagnosis and 3 months after the end of the last treatment: the evolution of the relationship of couple, and more particularly of communication (verbal and non-verbal) concerning sexuality, before and during cancer.
Detailed Description: The representations associated with sexuality and cancer seem antinomic: wellbeing / death, and yet combine in the experience of cancer. The latter has an impact on sexuality in terms of satisfaction or sexual activity and on the relationship in terms of support. In addition, various studies show the psychological impact of treatments on the couple's relationship or the body image of women with cancer. Their abilities to seduce are affected and explain the decrease of their sexual activity during the treatments: a communication, valuing the femininity, would it then facilitate the relations of couple? There is no work that considers sexuality in a systematic way (sexual act and verbal and non-verbal communication) and apprehends its link with the evolution of the relationship, from the diagnosis of cancer to the end of treatments. This study aims to study in patients with cancer of the cervix or the body of the uterus, or the ovary between the time of diagnosis and 3 months after the end of the last treatment: the evolution of the relationship of couple, and more particularly of communication (verbal and non-verbal) concerning sexuality, before and during cancer.
