Abstract: Objective: To investigate sexual function and its influencing factors among cervical cancer survivors who completed their treatments 3 to 36 months ago. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. Two hundred and two cervical cancer survivors were investigated with a demographic and disease information questionnaire, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)and Lock-Wollance Marital Adjustment Scale. Results: The total mean score of sexual function of these cervical cancer survivors was 12.87±11.03, and 80.2% of them were suffering from sexual dysfunction. Logistic stepwise regression analysis results showed that age (OR=2.614), marital satisfaction (OR=0.305), radiotherapy (OR=3.986) and vaginal atrophy (OR= 7.119) were included in the regression equation, in which the total score of FSFI was dependent variable. Among them, marital satisfaction was protective factor,and age, radiotherapy, vaginal atrophy were risk factors. Conclusion: The sexual function of cervical cancer survivors becomes worse after treatment. Many influencing factors could affect their sexual function.
