What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how an educational program affects sexual function and treatment adherence in women with breast cancer treated at a medical oncology department in Marrakech. This study focuses on women diagnosed with breast cancer who are receiving oral anticancer treatments and aims to understand the impact of education on their health behaviors and well-being. Participants will take part in a structured therapeutic education program consisting of two face-to-face sessions, each lasting two hours, led by a trained midwife specializing in oncology care. The sessions cover breast cancer, treatment options and side effects, sexual health, and the importance of following prescribed treatments. After these sessions, participants will receive ongoing support and reminders through WhatsApp to reinforce key messages. During the study, women will complete questionnaires assessing sexual function and treatment adherence before the education program and again two months afterward to measure any changes. The study involves interviews and medical record reviews to collect clinical data. Researchers will analyze the results to evaluate the programs effects, and participants have the right to withdraw at any time. The total participation duration includes the education sessions and follow-up assessments over two months.
