    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of narrative therapy on sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test–post-test design with a control group. Among married women with skin cancer in Mashhad (Iran), 30 available individuals were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Narrative therapy was performed in a group of 15 people in nine sessions (experimental group). The Female Sexual Function Index and Couple Burnout Measure were used to collect pre-test and post-test data. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: Group narrative therapy significantly improved reported sexual function (F = 40.90; p = .001) and decreased couple burnout (F = 59.03; p = .001) in women with skin cancer. Conclusions: Narrative therapy seems to effectively improve sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer.

    Objetivo: Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a eficácia da terapia narrativa sobre a função sexual e o esgotamento do casal em mulheres com cancro de pele. Métodos: O método de investigação foi quase-experimental com desenho pré-teste-pós-teste com um grupo de controlo. Entre mulheres casadas com cancro de pele em Mashhad (Irão), foram selecionados 30 indivíduos disponíveis e atribuídos aleatoriamente a grupos experimental e de controlo. A terapia narrativa foi realizada num grupo de 15 pessoas em nove sessões (grupo experimental). O Female Sexual Function Index e a Couple Burnout Measure foram utilizados para recolher dados em pré-teste e pós-teste. A análise da covariância foi utilizada para analisar os dados. Resultados: A terapia narrativa grupal melhorou significativamente a função sexual relatada (F = 40,90; p = 0,001) e diminuiu o esgotamento do casal (F = 59,03; p = 0,001) em mulheres com cancro de pele. Conclusões: A terapia narrativa parece ser eficaz na melhoria da função sexual e do esgotamento do casal em mulheres com cancro de pele.
