Abstract
Aim: To analyze the quality of life and sexual function of women undergoing treatment for cervical cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional study of hospital-based census, in which a total of 90 women treated for cervical cancer at the Clinic Hospital of Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in 2015 will be interviewed. The following instruments will be used: WHOQOL-BREF, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and an instrument specifically developed for this research to characterize the population to be studied. A descriptive analysis and measures of central tendencies and dispersion, as well as Pearson correlation and Student t-tests will be conducted. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee for Research Involving Human Subjects of the UFPE Health Sciences Center. Expected results: to identify most affected areas of quality of life (QOL) and sexual function in women studied and the most harmful treatment forms.References
