Subjects and Method Design: A research design of descriptive correlation type was utilized. Setting: the study was carried out in inpatient and outpatient clinics at urology and nephrology center in Mansoura, Egypt. Subjects: an inclusion of 148 patients as purposive sample of whom undergoing urinary diversion were conducted. Tools: for collection of data, four tools were employed which comprised of; Structured interview, Body Image Scale, WHO Quality of Life (QOL) Scale, and Sexual function index (male and female). The Results: It has been demonstrated by the current study that, the males were more prevalent in this study compared to females with a moderate level of body image and high quality of life level. Both sex had an optimal sexual function. Conclusion: A positive correlation which is statistically significant was evident between the image of body, life’s quality and the sexual function of males and females.
