Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the sexual function and subjective well-being of the CCSs in different stages, and to explore the relationship between sexual function and subjective well-being.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to investigate the sexual function and subjective well-being for CCSs(N=212). Basic demographic information about the CCSs was collected. Data were analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: The total scores of Female Sexual Function Index and Index of Well-being were different in different stages(P<0.001). As the stage progressed, both the sexual function index and well-being index was decreased. The Female Sexual Function Index in stage I to IV scores ranged from was 19.86(SD=7.53) to 2.12(SD=0.44), and Index of Well-being scores ranged from 7.91(SD=2.04) to 3.97(SD=0.90). From sub-dimension of sexual function and subjective well-being analysis, CCSs had different symptoms in different stages. In the Pearson correlation analysis, there was a positive correlation between sexual function and subjective well-being(R2=0.5214,P<0.001).
Conclusions: The quality of sexual life and subjective well-being of CCSs varied by stage, and the higher quality of sexual life, the higher subjective well-being. Health care workers should improve the awareness of sexual problems and provide personalized care according to different situations.
