MammoVerse: Breast Cancer Sexual Health Focus Groups
MammoVerse: Exploring Sexual Health and Intimacy Experiences Among Women Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
The purpose of this study is to explore the lived experiences, emotional challenges, and coping processes related to changes in sexual health and intimacy among women diagnosed with breast cancer. Insights gained from participants' personal experiences will provide a deeper understanding of patients' informational, emotional, and relational support needs, which will inform the development of an AI-driven digital support platform aimed at delivering personalized education, facilitating communication, and improving overall quality of life among women living with and beyond breast cancer in Florida.
The study involves focus group discussions conducted via Zoom and online questionnaires administered to breast cancer patients and survivors.

Develop a Grounded Theory Framework for a Pilot Survey Instrument
時間枠:1 year
|
Using grounded theory analysis, emergent qualitative themes will be translated into measurable constructs to inform the design of a lived experience-based pilot survey instrument assessing sexual health and intimacy concerns following breast cancer.
This instrument will later be refined and validated in a subsequent quantitative study to evaluate sexual well-being and coping patterns in larger breast cancer populations, supporting theory development and instrument construction through iterative qualitative to quantitative integration.
