Abstract
In 2020, there were over 604,000 new cases of cervical cancer
worldwide and over 342,000 deaths from the disease. In Eastern and Middle Africa, cervical cancer
is the most common cancer. In Ethiopia, current statistics indicate that cervical cancer is the second
most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women.
Cervical cancer survival rates vary throughout the world and are commonly associated with the
country’s development status. As survival rates of cervical cancer patients increase, their quality
of life becomes a more important issue. Understanding the experience and recovery process of cervical cancer survivors is essential to bring attention to their sexual and psychosocial needs
