Abstract：【Objective】To survey on the status of sexual function, depression and quality of life in patients with cervical cancer and investigate the relationship among those situations .【Methods】A total of 137 women, who were diagnosed as cervical cancer in our hospital from June 2016 to June 2017, completed the questionnaire survey. Sexual function was evaluated by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), depression was assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the quality of life by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General version 4 (FACT-G). Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Scheffé's tests, and Pearson correlations were computed with software SPSS Win 21.0.【Results】The average scores of sexual function depression and the quality of life in the participants of this study were 4.83±1.16, 11.08±5.06 and 57.33±8.47, respectively. Among them, 31 patients (22.63%) had no depression, 46 patients (33.57%) had mild depression, and 60 patients (43.79%) had moderate to severe depression. The scores of sexual function and quality of life in patients of ages 20~39 were significantly higher than those of other age groups. The score of sexual function in patients below college education were significantly higher than those of patients with college education. Patients with employment had higher sexual function scores than those of non-employment patients. The score of sexual function of patients whose main caregivers were parents were higher than those whose main caregivers were their children, spouses and other caregivers. The scores of sexual function of patients with 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin were higher than those of other chemotherapeutic drugs; the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between sexual function and depression (r=-0.408, P<0.001), and a significant positively correlated with quality of life (r=0.303, P<0.001) in patients with cervical cancer. In addition, the survey showed sexual function was positively correlated with physical well-being, social well-being, and functional well-being (P=0.001), but not with psychological well-being (P=0.223).【Conclusion】This study reveals cervical cancer patients with lower sexual function tended to have lower quality of life and higher severity of depression, which should be actively intervened to improve the quality of life of those patients.
