Both cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based therapies have been shown to improve sexual health and well-being. However, despite these excellent options for treating sexual dysfunction, there are considerable barriers that prevent women with sexual dysfunction, and in particular cancer survivors, from accessing these effective treatments. That is where eSense-Cancer fills the gap, as an online and effective digital sexual health tool that delivers both cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) to help overcome many of the barriers that women and gynecologic cancer survivors face.
This Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, we are acknowledging the gaps in care and knowledge, and highlighting research working to close them.
The UBC Sexual Health Lab, led by GCI Investigator Dr. Lori Brotto, is inviting gynecologic cancer survivors with sexual difficulties to test an adaptation of their validated and efficacious online digital sexual health tool, eSense, which delivers both cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. This is a fully online, paid study opportunity. Eligible participants will complete questionnaires and participate in a 16-week treatment period.
