Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer is treatable type of cancer, especially when detected early and managed
effectively. Despite this, half of women diagnosed with cervical cancer experience problems with
sexual function. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Roy adaption model on
sexual function and pain coping strategies among women with early-stage of cervical cancer. Design:
This study was conducted as quasi-experimental design. Setting: This study was conducted at Benha
University Hospitals in Benha, Egypt, at the gynaecological inpatient unit and the outpatient clinics.
Sampling: A Purposive sample included 68 women was used. Tools: four tools were used for data
collection including a structured interviewing questionnaire (demographic data and knowledge sheet),
Roy adaptation model scale, coping strategies questionnaire, and female sexual function index.
Results: Through all programme phases, the control group did not show any statistically significant
positive association between total RAM and the total of other variables. Although there was a strong
association between total RAM and total (knowledge, coping mechanisms, and sexual function) in the
study group after three and six months of program application.
