Résumé

En dépit des progrès thérapeutiques, les dysfonctions sexuelles sont fréquentes après traitement du cancer, affectant la moitié des hommes et femmes traités pour un cancer pelvien, et plus d’un quart des patients atteints d’autres types de cancer. Elles entraînent une grande détresse émotionnelle chez les patients et sont fréquemment associées à une dépression, de l’anxiété, des conflits relationnels et/ou une atteinte de l’estime de soi. Après le traitement du cancer, de nombreux patients ont des besoins non satisfaits à tous les niveaux de la prise en charge. Plusieurs enquêtes dans les pays industrialisés confirment que de nombreux patients atteints de cancer ne sont pas suffisamment informés de l’impact possible sur leurs fonctions sexuelles et que les possibilités de prévention et de prise en charge précoce sont insuffisamment mises en oeuvre. L’une des causes principales de cette insuffisance de prise en charge est le manque de connaissance, de savoir-faire et de savoir-être des professionnels du monde de l’oncologie. Une offre de formation en trois niveaux doit répondre à des besoins à la fois de formations courtes non diplômantes, visant à identifier les patients cibles et à les orienter (niveau 1), de formations plus solides permettant de devenir une personne-ressource de proximité capable, entre autres, d’assurer des conseils simples et d’initier une éducation (niveau 2), mais également des formations diplômantes permettant de devenir des référents capables d’assurer une prise en charge complète (information, conseil, thérapie, éducation…), et de recours (niveau 3). Aujourd’hui, à l’échelon du territoire, des formations existent à tous les niveaux. L’objectif de cet article est de donner un état des lieux en 2016.

Abstract

Despite therapeutic progress, sexual dysfunction is common following cancer treatment, affecting half of both men and women treated for pelvic forms of cancer, and over one quarter of patients with other types of cancer. This leads to extreme emotional distress for patients, and is commonly associated with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and/or a lack of self-esteem. Following treatment for cancer, numerous patients have unsatisfied needs from all levels of care. Several surveys in industrialised countries confirm that numerous cancer patients are not satisfactorily informed of the potential impact of their sexual function, and possible means of prevention and early forms of treatment are inadequately implemented. One of the main causes of this inadequate treatment is the lack of awareness, knowledge and skills among oncological healthcare professionals. Three tiers of training should meet all of these needs, not just with regards to short non-diploma types of training courses, with the aim of identifying target patients and providing them with guidance (level 1), but also more in-depth training, enabling the person to become a more knowledgeable resource, capable, among other things, of providing basic advice and education (level 2), plus diploma courses, allowing those receiving the training to be able to provide the full range of care (information, advice, therapy, education etc.) and support (level 3). Currently, across the country, all levels of training courses are available. The aim of this article is to provide an overview for 2016.
