Abstract: (495 Views)
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women in Iran, and sexual dysfunction is often observed in these patients.
Objectives: The present study aimed to systematically review the clinical trials to determine the effect of counseling-educational interventions on sexual issues of women with breast cancer in Iran.
Methods: In this systematic review, a query was conducted on databases, including Pubmed, WOS, SCOPUS, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, SID, Magiran, and Irandoc up to Jan 2023. The keywords were sex, sexual counseling, sexual function, quality of sexual life, breast cancer, sexuality, education, and all possible combinations of these words with the Boolean operators of "OR" and "AND". The Cochran Group Risk of bias tool was used to evaluate the quality of articles.
Results: Finally, 10 studies (with a total sample size of 614 people) were systematically reviewed. Of these, 4 articles examined sexual counseling, 5 papers assessed sexual education, and 1 study compared sexual counseling and sexual education in patients. PLISSIT (P: Permission, LI: Limited Information, SS: Specific Suggestions, IT: Intensive Therapy) counseling, mindfulness, sexual psychology, commitment acceptance, sports counseling, couples training, and group counseling caused a significant difference in sexual variables between the intervention and control groups. Four-factor psychotherapy alone was not effective in increasing sexual assertiveness.
Conclusion: Based on the results, several types of counseling and educational approaches were effective in improving sexual problems and promoting sexual health in women with breast cancer in Iran; therefore, the widespread use of these methods is recommended.
