Sexual Concerns

12128 Background: Sexual health is an important component of overall well-being and can be adversely impacted by chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, in addition to the psychological effects of cancer treatments. Sexual health is challenging to discuss and may be overlooked or avoided during cancer care. Methods: Patients presenting for consultation in an outpatient multisite cancer center completed electronic distress screening (EDS) between January 2017 and December 2020. The EDS contains 42 questions; demographic information, cancer symptoms and side effects, and psychosocial factors. The EDS is completed by patients before a clinical encounter for early symptom identification and intervention. We conducted a retrospective data analysis of sexual health concerns (>5; scale 0-10) and evaluated patient characteristics and clinically relevant distress (>4; NCCN Distress Tool), depression risk (>3; PhQ2), and anxiety risk (>3; GAD2). Our primary aim was to identify the prevalence of sexual health concerns. The secondary aim was to examine the relationship between sexual health and emotional well-being. Results: 57,375 EDS screens were completed. 13,950 patients (24%) reported sexual concerns or lack of interest in sex (>5) within the last 2 weeks. The frequency of these concerns at specific clinics ranged from 12% to 48%, with the highest rates at Palliative care (39%) and Psycho-Oncology (48%) clinics. Genitourinary (30%), Gynecologic (27%) and Gastroenterology (26%) reported the highest frequency of sexual concerns from cancer site specific clinics. Males reported a higher rate of sexual problems compared to females (30% vs 21%, p < 0.001), but a lower rate of relationship concern distress (12% vs 13%, p < 0.05). Patients with a risk for depression (n = 9,126) or anxiety (n = 10,809) had higher rates of self-reported sexual concerns than those with a negative screen (44% vs 21% depression, p < 0.001; 40% vs 21% anxiety, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Sexual health is a concern for approximately one-quarter of patients presenting for cancer care. Sexual health concerns were prevalent across cancer sites. Patients with positive screens for anxiety and/or depression have nearly double the rates of reported sexual health concerns. Sexual health is a current unmet need that impacts cancer patients and warrants attention.

Sexual Responsibility

Television drama series have the potential to create awareness about sexual health problems and solutions. This study deployed a qualitative analysis of framing to understand how the Netflix show Sex Education framed sexual health concerns. Findings indicate that some sexual health concerns were depicted in the context of teaching sexual responsibility and destigmatizing processes such as seeking information or coming out as LGBTQ+. The show also portrayed the negative consequences of sexual violence and how people might choose to seek help related to sexual trauma. Overall, this study discusses how Sex Education frames sexual health issues in both expected and novel ways compared to those previously explored in public interest communications research.
