Those who endorsed either marital or sexual distress were invited into the study, and were randomized to receive the intervention immediately or be waitlisted. Intervention feasibility (i.e., reach, adherence) and acceptability (i.e., satisfaction, cultural sensitivity, willingness to pay) and marital, sexual, and body image outcome changes were examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>1101 patients completed the screener; 24% of patients with breast or gynaecologic cancer reported marital or sexual distress. Forty\u2010six patients who were eligible participated in the study. The majority (88%) of participants who started the intervention completed all 3 sessions. All (100%) participants who completed the intervention reported satisfaction and the majority (97%) reported they would recommend the intervention to a friend. The majority of participants found the intervention to be culturally sensitive (93%) and reported being willing to pay either out of pocket or through their national medical MediSave account (76%). Outcome changes were in expected directions with small effect sizes (0.24\u20130.42). Several themes emerged from open\u2010ended feedback on what participants found useful and how the intervention can be improved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Approximately one quarter of breast or gynaecologic cancer patient who are partnered in Singapore reported marital or sexual distress. Despite the low reach, we found good adherence and high acceptability of the psychological\u2010based intervention.
