Abstract

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a one-session sexual health education program using a transtheoretical model to enhance sexual self-efficacy in patients with cervical cancer.

METHODS: This study recruited patients with cervical cancer from the gynecological wards of a medical center in northern Taiwan. A total of 63 participants were divided into 2 groups: the control group (n = 30) received traditional sexual health education. The intervention group (n = 33) participated in a transtheoretical model (TTM)-based sexual health education program. Scores from self-report questionnaires for variables of knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding sexual health collected 1 and 6 weeks after the intervention were compared with baseline scores.

RESULTS: Patients who received transtheoretical model (TTM)-based sexual health education had significantly greater sexual knowledge (β = 3.794, p < 0.01), sexual attitudes (β = 9.226, p < 0.01), and sexual self-efficacy (β = 17.053, p < 0.01) than those who received traditional sexual health education at 1 and 6 weeks.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that a one-session sexual health education using a TTM-based model can enhance sexual knowledge, attitudes, and sexual self-efficacy among patients with cervical cancer. This educational program can be translated into routine clinical practice to help patients with cervical cancer enhance their sexual health and improve confidence in their sexual well-being.
