(editor) Chamberlain, P. (editor) Date 2020 Abstract Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) with Cancer are making the transition from childhood to adulthood while handling the burden of cancer. During this extraordinarily challenging time in their growth and development, sexuality and intimacy, an important aspect of AYAs’ wellbeing, are often insufficiently addressed by the healthcare providers, and AYAs are dissatisfied with the available information. The objective of this study was to develop objectives that could help design properly address sexuality and intimacy in AYA care along with a design prototype. The research investigated the big picture of sexuality and intimacy care for AYAs in the Netherlands and looked into AYAs’ unmet needs through literature study, interviews with AYA using the Q-sort method and interviews with healthcare providers. The list of design objectives was proposed based on the interviewees’ opinions and insights, along with an iterative prototype designed by the researcher that reflected the objectives. Through a cyclic interview process, the list of design objectives was revised, and the prototype was refined as a possible solution in the end. Finally, a conclusion on the research findings and the design objectives is provided Subject Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancerhuman-centred designsexuality and intimacysexual healthonline intervention To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:8785c8f0-319a-4385-901c-05a215b641a0 Publisher Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield ISBN 978-1-8381117-0-0 Source Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Design4Health, 4 Event The 6th International Conference on Design4Health (Cancelled due to COVID-19), 2020-07-01 → 2020-07-03, Amsterdam, Netherlands Bibliographical note accepted author manuscript Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type conference paper Rights © 2020 Ruocha Wang, B.S.
