Background
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide, and sexual
difficulties affect up to 86% of survivors. These concerns commonly emerge during treatment and frequently persist well into recovery, yet many breast cancer survivors receive inadequate information about the sexual health impacts of their diagnosis and treatment. eSense is a feasible digital health program that has shown efficacy in improving sexual desire and distress among non-cancer samples of women with distressing low desire. eSense was subsequently adapted to meet the sexual health needs of gynecologic cancer survivors, whose perspectives informed the program’s re-design.
This study aimed to use feedback from breast cancer survivors to inform specific refinements to eSense-Cancer. We recruited 16 breast cancer survivors who each reviewed a specific module within eSense-Cancer and provided their feedback on the module in a Zoom meeting with the study coordinator.
