Brief summary: The purpose of the SexCan - WebEd Nurse study is to evaluate the effect of a five week online university course, "Bring it up - Assessment and support of patients' sexuality in cancer nursing", aimed at cancer nurses, on occupational self-efficacy and attitudes towards addressing sexuality with patients.

Detailed description: Cancer nurses attending the course will be recruited. Effects will be used with a pre-post design at two occasions or until we reach 15 participants. Survey data will be collected at baseline and two times post the course. Qualitative interviews with participants will also be performed as well as observational data from the seminars in the course.

The participants' ward managers will also be invited to qualitative interviews considering how to implement the nurses' new knowledge clinically.
