- description
- In this study, it is planned to follow up the patients from the early postoperative period in order to emphasise and draw attention to the difficulties experienced by individuals with breast cancer in their sexual life. Female sexual function will evaluate with a detailed 19-item likert-type questionnaire \[Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)\] described by Rosen et al. Questions 1 and 2 are scored between 1-5, questions 3-13 are scored between 0-5, questions 14-16 are scored between 0 and 1-5 and questions 17-19 are scored between 0-5. Accordingly, the highest raw score to be obtained from the scale is 95 and the lowest raw score is 4. The cut-off score of the scale is determined as 26.55 and it is stated that women who score below this score have sexual dysfunction (Aydemir and Güneş 2024). High scores on the scale indicate that sexual function is good. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Aygin and Aslan in 2005.
