目的/目的：探讨乳腺癌患者面临的性行为和亲密体验。资料来源：已发表的文章；OVID、MincINFO和佛罗里达大西洋大学数据库；网站；书籍。资料综合：在终身性体验方面，缺乏患者对乳房切除术和化疗引起的更年期的认知和知识。医疗保健提供者必须建立急需的教育和开放的沟通渠道。结论：乳腺癌诊断和治疗的生理和心理结果改变了人类的性行为。乳腺癌的存活率处于历史最高水平，这增加了每天将生活在此类问题中的人数，并将重点从急性护理转移到慢性疾病。护理的意义：医疗保健提供者应该评估个别患者可能面临的潜在问题。通过发现问题，他们可以挑战医疗保健，使其专注于与患者面临的性和亲密问题相关的长期问题。
Purpose/Objectives: To explore the sexuality and intimacy experiences facing women with breast cancer.Data Sources: Published articles; OVID, PsycINFO, and Florida Atlantic University databases; Web sites; and books.Data Synthesis: Patient perceptions and knowledge of mastectomy and chemotherapy-induced menopause in regard to lifelong sexual experiences are lacking. Healthcare providers must institute much-needed education and open lines of communication.Conclusions: The physical and psychological results of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment alter human sexuality. Breast cancer's survival rate is at an all-time high, increasing the number of people who will be living with such issues on a daily basis and shifting the focus from acute care concerns to chronic disease concerns.Implications for Nursing: Healthcare providers should assess individual patients for potential issues they may face. By identifying problems, they can challenge health care to focus on the long-term problems associated with sexuality and intimacy issues facing patients.
