The influencing factors for body image were ‘need for preoperative sexual education and sexual counseling’ (β=−.29, p=.003), and clinical stage II of colorectal cancer (β=−.26, p=.006). The influencing factor for sexual life was educational level (college education or higher) (β=.21, p=.02).CONCLUSION:
