Abstract

Cilj istraživanja je ispitati neke od korelata kvalitete seksualnog života žena oboljelih od raka dojke koji uključuju sociodemografske i kliničke odrednice. Također će se osvrnuti i na adaptivne, tj. maladaptivne stratetegije suočavanja sa stresom unutar populacije. Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku putem online obrasca. Sudjelovalo je 228 žena prosječne dobi 50.7 godina. Korišteni instrumenti su uključivali upitnik Seksualne kvalitete života – žene (SQOL-F), Indeks ženskog seksualnog funkcioniranja (FSFI), Ljestvicu procjene odnosa (RAS) te Upitnik suočavanja sa stresnim situacijama (CISS) te su ispitana neka sociodemografska obilježja sudionica. Rezultati su pokazali kako će žene koje se nisu podvrgnule mastektomiji izvijestiti o boljoj kvaliteti seksualnog života, kao i one koje još nisu ušle u menopauzu. Općenito, rezultati FSFI impliciraju prisutnost seksualne disfunkcije. Kvaliteta romantičnih odnosa nije polučila značajnu povezanost s kvalitetom seksualnog funkcioniranja. Strategije suočavanja sa stresom usmjerene na zadatak, kao i izbjegavanja u pozitivnoj su korelaciji s kvalitetom seksualnog života, dok je za strategije usmjerene na emocije taj odnos suprotan. Žene starije dobi te boljeg socioekonomskog statusa također izvještavaju o višim razinama kvalitete seksualnog funkcioniranja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study is to examine some of the correlates of the sexual quality of life in women diagnosed with breast cancer, including sociodemographic and clinical determinants. The study also addresses adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies within the population. The research was conducted on a convenience sample via an online survey. A total of 228 women participated, with an average age of 50.7 years. The instruments used included the Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female (SQOL-F), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS), and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), along with an assessment of some sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. The results indicated that women who did not undergo mastectomy reported a better sexual quality of life, as did those who were not yet in menopause. Generally, the FSFI results suggest the presence of sexual dysfunction. The quality of romantic relationships did not show a significant correlation with the quality of sexual functioning. Task-oriented and avoidance coping strategies were positively correlated with the quality of sexual life, while emotion-oriented coping strategies showed the opposite relationship. Older women and those with higher socioeconomic status also reported higher levels of sexual functioning quality.
