CANCER
The cultural requirements of the studied community (Iran) were among the limitations of this study, which made some participants shy away from participating in a study on sexual issues. On the other hand, talking about cancer and recalling the bitter memories of the treatment period was annoying for a significant number of them. To overcome this limitation, all participants were assured that in this research, due to the use of a solution-focused approach, the main focus was on the abilities and capacities of participants, and talking about past memories and problems related to cancer was avoided. Moreover, each participant was assigned a pseudonym so that their identity would remain unknown during the counseling sessions. Besides, due to the weak internet infrastructure in some areas, sometimes the internet of the participants was disconnected and caused problems in the online sessions.
