20.500.12556/ReVIS-13209 Rak in spolnost Cancer and Sexuality Izhodišča: Rak je kompleksna bolezen, ki pomembno vpliva na fizično, psihološko in socialno življenje posameznika. Eden izmed pogosto spregledanih vidikov življenja bolnikov z rakom je spolnost. Spolnost je osnovna človekova potreba, ki pomembno prispeva h kakovosti življenja, samopodobi, partnerski povezanosti in psihološkemu ravnovesju. Namen diplomske naloge je raziskati, kako bolezen rak vpliva na spolnost, ter predstaviti glavne fiziološke in psihološke spremembe, ki jih prinašata bolezen in zdravljenje. Metode: Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo dela. Literaturo smo iskali s pomočjo ključnih besed v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku: rak, spolnost, psihološki vplivi, fiziološki vplivi, kakovost življenja. Za iskanje virov smo uporabili mednarodne podatkovne baze: PubMed, APA PsycNet, Google Scholar in COBISS. Z diagramom PRIZMA smo prikazali proces izločevanja zadetkov. Delo temelji na pregledu domače in tuje literature, objavljene med letoma 2014 in 2024. Pri vsebinski analizi smo uporabili tehniko kodiranja in oblikovanja vsebinskih kategorij. Rezultati: Pri iskanju v bazah smo identificirali skupno 309 zadetkov. S selekcijo po vključitvenih kriterijih smo izločili podvojene zapise, nerelevantne teme, vsebine brez polnega besedila in nerecenzirane prispevke. Za končno analizo smo izbrali 12 najrelevantnejših strokovnih člankov. Vključili smo znanstvene in strokovne članke, objavljene od leta 2014 do leta 2024, ki so bili prosto dostopni na spletu v obsegu celotnega besedila. Z izvedbo kvalitativne vsebinske analize smo iz člankov izluščili 22 vsebinskih kod, ki smo jih združili v 5 kategorij. V pregled smo vključili 5 sistematičnih pregledov literature, 1 posamično presečno študijo, 2 posamični poglobljeni kvalitativni študiji in 4 mnenja strokovnjakov. Razprava: Zdravljenje raka pogosto povzroča različne spolne motnje, kot so zmanjšan libido, erektilne težave, vaginalna suhost in bolečina pri spolnosti. Raziskave so potrdile, da medicinske sestre pomembno prispevajo k prepoznavanju teh težav, iniciranju pogovora in podpori bolnikom. Hkrati so se pokazale izrazite komunikacijske ovire, med katerimi izstopajo pomanjkanje znanja, zadrega, časovne omejitve in kulturne razlike. Na podlagi pregleda literature ugotavljamo, da je obravnava spolnosti bolnikov z rakom še vedno pomanjkljivo vključena v klinično prakso, predvsem zaradi pomanjkanja samozavesti in znanja medicinskih sester. Ugotovitve kažejo tudi na potrebo po bolj sistematičnem pristopu, vključevanju partnerjev in izboljšanju organizacijskih pogojev, kar bi pomembno prispevalo k boljši kakovosti življenja bolnikov. Introduction: Cancer is a complex disease that significantly affects the physical, psychological, and social aspects of a person’s life. One frequently overlooked aspect of life among cancer patients is sexuality. Sexuality represents a fundamental human need that contributes to quality of life, self-image, emotional well-being, and intimate relationships. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how cancer affects sexuality and to present the main physiological and psychological changes resulting from the disease and its treatment. Methods: We employed a descriptive research approach. Literature was searched using Slovenian and English keywords: cancer, sexuality, psychological effects, physiological effects, and quality of life. Sources were retrieved from international databases: PubMed, APA PsycNet, Wiley, and ScienceDirect. The PRISMA diagram was used to illustrate the record exclusion process. The paper is based on a review of domestic and international literature published between 2014 and 2024. For content analysis, we applied coding techniques and category formation. Results: The database search yielded 309 records. After applying inclusion criteria, we excluded duplicate entries, irrelevant topics, sources without full-text availability, and non-peer-reviewed publications. Twelve of the most relevant professional and scientific articles were selected for the final analysis. Included scientific and professional articles were published between 2014 and 2024 and were freely available in full-text form. Through qualitative content analysis, we extracted 22 codes and grouped them into 5 categories. The review included 5 systematic literature reviews, 1 cross-sectional study, 2 in-depth qualitative studies, and 4 expert opinions. Discussion: Cancer treatment often results in various forms of sexual dysfunction, such as reduced libido, erectile difficulties, vaginal dryness, and pain during sexual activity. Research has confirmed that nurses play an essential role in identifying these issues, initiating conversations, and providing support to patients. However, pronounced communication barriers have emerged, including insufficient knowledge, embarrassment, time limitations, and cultural factors. Based on the reviewed literature, sexual health among cancer patients remains insufficiently integrated into clinical practice, primarily due to nurses’ limited confidence and knowledge. The findings also highlight the need for a more systematic approach, partner involvement, and organizational improvements, which would significantly enhance patients’ quality of life. rak spolnost psihološki vplivi fiziološki vplivi kakovost življenja. cancer sexuality psychological impact physiological effects quality of life. true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2026-02-19 19:55:37 2026-02-19 19:55:37 2026-04-14 12:17:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 24895 271849731 DIP_Dukic_Stasa_2026.pdf DIP_Dukic_Stasa_2026.pdf 1 37297FF9E9B547D07B0DD0DFD44C5FD3 fe8f5336123126b03fb94157d19fb6da8c5c2cb720b7d09113ad135af0d55ba9 94689b18-0dc4-11f1-9c9d-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15668 Univerza v Novem mestu - Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede 0 0 0
