Abstract

Body image is one component of self-concept that forms individual perceptions of sexual attractiveness. Women with gynecologic cancer experience many physical changes from the diagnosis to therapy period. Therefore, they may experience changes in their perception of body image and sexual attractiveness. This study aims to explore changes in body image impacting sexual attractiveness after gynecological cancer diagnosis from women’s perspective. This qualitative study used a phenomenological design. The population was all women with gynecological cancer in the working area of the Pacar Keling Health Center, Surabaya. Informants were selected by purposive sampling (n=12). Instruments were interview guide, observation sheet, and voice recorder. Data analysis used thematic analysis with a nine-step approach of Collaizi method. The results validity was obtained through data triangulation to informants, researcher’s experience, and literature review. The majority was elderly with sufficient education, married, and live with their husbands. Breast cancer was the main cases. Pain was the most complained by informants. Most of them had undergone trimodality of cancer therapy. Physical changes occured include cancer wounds, post-op wounds, various physical symptoms of cancer, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, hair loss, darkening of the skin, and pain. All of these changes may trigger negative and positive emotions. Informants stated that their body image did not change significantly, so there was no change in perception of sexual attractiveness after cancer.
