Sexual well-being is often mistakenly operationalized simply as sexual satisfaction. The concept of sexual well-being has been often used as an umbrella term for positive aspects of sexuality, apart from its negative spheres. A new concept of sexual well-being was proposed in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) definition of sexual health. The definition tried to enrich the concept of sexual well-being, but it did not solve the problem of its operationalization. Two separate studies were conducted for the psychometric validation of the Short Sexual Well-Being Scale. Short Sexual Well-Being Scales shows good psychometric properties in its original version. These properties are yet unknown for the its Turkish translation.

This chapter outlines the World Health Organization (WHO) definition of sexual violence as: ‘Any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances, or acts to traffic or otherwise directed against a person's sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting, including but not limited to home and work'. Although there are many factors which contribute to our understanding of the causes of sexual abuse, this chapter focuses on the various psycho-social factors that would lead to sexual abuse and the various psychological theories such as cognitive, behavioural, personality and social learning theories that help us explain the causes of sexual abuse.

7632 Background: In 1999 the World Health Organization (WHO) changed its definition of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). We examined the effects of this change. Methods: Patients included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program from 1992–2002 with Stages I-IIIB non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) who underwent a definitive surgical procedure were divided into a Cohort A (1,348 patients with BAC diagnosed from 2000–2002), Cohort B (2,955 patients diagnosed with BAC from 1992–1998), and Cohort C (36,861 patients with other NSCLC from the entire period). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were compared according to potential prognostic factors, including use of a matched-pair analysis. We also compared the demographic, histopathologic, and treatment factors associated with the three groups. Results: The proportion of BAC increased both as a percentage of NSCLC and as a percentage of adenocarcinoma for cohort A(12.5%, 22%) as compared to Cohort B(10.9%, 20%). The proportions of patients with smaller tumor size, female sex, non-black or non-white race, resections less than a pneumonectomy, no radiotherapy, Stage I disease, and well- differentiated tumor grade were similar between Cohorts A and B and statistically different between them and Cohort C. Cohorts A and B also had very similar OS/DFS to each other. Matched patients with Stage I cancer in Cohort A had better OS than in Cohort C; OS was similar for other stages. DFS was improved for all stages in Cohort A as compared to Cohort C (except for Stage II). Conclusions: Patients with BAC diagnosed before or after 1999 have similar outcomes to each other and better outcomes than patients with other NSCLCs. Furthermore, both BAC groups had analogous patient demographic, histopathologic and treatment factors, but differed from those of non-BAC NSCLC during this time period. Surgically-resected BAC defined using the 1999 WHO criteria remains distinctly different than non-BAC NSCLC. Therefore recommendations for adjuvant therapy may need to be different for this patient population. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
