Perceptions and Behaviors of Healthcare Providers Regarding Sexuality in Cervical Cancer Care: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human well-being, yet it is often disrupted in women diagnosed with cervical cancer. Although healthcare providers play a crucial role in supporting patients' sexual health, the topic remains largely unaddressed in oncology settings. This study aimed to explore how healthcare providers perceive and respond to sexual health concerns among women with cervical cancer. A qualitative approach was conducted between August and November 2024 at Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Indonesia. Eighteen healthcare workers experienced in cancer care were selected through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke's six-phase framework with Nvivo 12 Plus software. The analysis revealed three main themes: (1) diverse perceptions of sexuality; (2) unmet sexual health needs; and (3) challenges to address sexual health. This study highlights that healthcare providers acknowledge the importance of addressing sexuality in cancer care but face numerous challenges that hinder open discussions in Indonesia. Integrating sexual health into routine oncology care and enhancing provider training are essential steps toward delivering more holistic and patient-centered care. These findings can improve sexual health care in cancer patients.
