“…The other instruments found measuring affected sexuality were either sex-specific or considered to be too detailed regarding sexual dysfunction [52–54]. An instrument, which encompasses the physical, psychological, intellectual, and social aspects of sexuality, as outlined in the definition of sexuality by the WHO, would be preferable and an instrument where perspectives such as closeness, intimacy, tenderness and body image are included is warranted.…”

Longitudinal studies exploring sexuality, body image and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are lacking in patients treated with chemo- or chemoimmuno-therapy for hematologic malignancies. The aim was to describe and explore changes in sexuality, body image and HRQoL in patients treated for hematologic malignancies, from baseline until 6 months after treatment. Twenty patients above 45 years (median age 62) treated for DLBCL, CLL or AML participated. Data were collected at baseline, 1- and 6-months after treatment by means of three instruments: SAQ-S, BIS and EORTC QLQ-C30. The results showed that patients’ sexuality was negatively affected 1 month after treatment, but after 6 months the patient reported scores had returned almost entirely to baseline scores. Body image was slight negatively affected after 1 month and after 6 months, 50 % reported that body image was not affected at all. Regarding HRQoL, patients reported gradually improved scores during the study period. Regression analysis showed that changes in sexuality and body image seemed to influence changes in HRQoL. This study has shown changes in sexuality, body image and HRQoL over time in patients above age 45 treated for hematologic malignancies. One month after treatment all three areas becomes negatively affected, and thereafter the patients’ scores recovered to a great extent regarding these issues within 6 months. Sexuality and body image seem to be important aspects of HRQoL for these patients and need to be integrated in the cancer rehabilitation during and after treatment.

“…Within the 12 studies included in this review, 5 studies used as sexual health outcome measures the Aging Sexuality Knowledge and Attitudes Scale (White, 1982 ), 2 studies used the Sexual Interaction Inventory (LoPiccolo & Steger, 1974 ), as well as 2 studies used the Female Sexual Function Index (Rosen et al., 2000 ). Amongst other outcome measures were the Derogatis Sexual Functioning Inventory (Derogatis & Melisaratos, 1979 ), the Frequency of Sexual Behavior Form (Petzold, 1982 ), the Index of Sexual Satisfaction (Hudson et al., 1981 ), the McCoy Female Sexuality Questionnaire (McCoy, 2000 ), the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (Hilditch et al., 1996 ), the sex-specific item from Greene Climacteric Scale (Greene, 1976 ), Sexual Activity Questionnaire (Thirlaway et al., 1996 ). the Sexual Behavior Questionnaire (White & Doyle, 1979 ), the Sexual History Inventory (Schover et al., 1982 ), the Sexual Desire Scale (Tremblay & Roussy, 2000 ), and the Sexual Desire Questionnaire (Drouin et al., 2003 ).…”

Objectives The present review aims to identify the existing evidence on outcome-treatment studies of psychological sexual health interventions in older age. Methods A systematic search was conducted for studies published until October 2022. Data search was conducted on EBSCO, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Results From 30,840 screened records, 12 reports were selected. Results were grouped into four categories according to the intervention that was implemented. Conclusions Despite results presenting some bias concerns, this review suggests that educational and cognitive-behavioral approaches seem to be effective for promoting sexual health in older age.

Breast cancer patients are at increased risk of sexual dysfunction. Despite this, both patients and practitioners are reluctant to initiate a conversation about sexuality. A sexual dysfunction screening tool would be helpful in clinical practice and research, however, no scale has yet been identified as a “gold standard” for this purpose. The present review aimed at evaluating the scales used in breast cancer research in respect to their psychometric properties and the extent to which they measure the DSM-5/ICD-10 aspects of sexual dysfunction. A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted for the period 1992–2013, yielding 129 studies using 30 different scales measuring sexual functioning, that were evaluated in the present review. Three scales (Arizona Sexual Experience Scale, Female Sexual Functioning Index, and Sexual Problems Scale) were identified as most closely meeting criteria for acceptable psychometric properties and incorporation of the DSM-5/ICD-10 areas of sexual dysfunction. Clinical implications for implementation of these measures are discussed as well as directions for further research.
