“…[9] It also provided the conditions for creating a sense of agreement between men and women. [53] In fact, training sexual skills creates a positive attitude towards the other party, which can increase satisfaction with life by reducing the anxiety [54] and creating a sense of relaxation. [1] In explaining the results of this study, it can be stated that many couples, especially in Iran, marry without having complete and correct information, resulting in a low quality relationship.…”

Background and Aims: Dissatisfaction with sexual relationships can influence the marital life of people and have negative psychological effects on them. Hence, the current research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of sexual skills training on marital satisfaction. Methods: The study design was quasiexperimental with pre-test and post-test type along with a control group. The research samples included 14 couples (28 people) who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups to evaluate the effect of sexual medicine intervention. Interventions were provided to the experimental group during 9 sessions. Control group did not receive any interventions during this time. Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (short form) was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 19, software. Results and Conclusion: The results revealed that sexual skills training increased marital satisfaction (p<0.01). Thus, based on the results obtained and the importance of sexual skills training in increasing marital satisfaction, psychotherapists and counselors are recommended to use this intervention to reduce marital problems and increase satisfaction in couples.

“…Although even here, a conscientious practitioner would likely take a holistic approach seeking to gain insight into client specific circumstances that elevate risk, and what education or service might be provided to support better health. While holistic care might not technically be necessary to diagnose and treat a sexually transmitted infection, for instance, other concerns, like lack of sexual interest, always require careful assessment and consideration of a woman's specific values as well as the varied biopsychosocial factors that may contribute to her health experiences (Berry & Berry, 2013;Lamont et al, 2018).…”

“…Sex hormones are biologically important to sexual function in both the central nervous system, and in peripheral tissues (Davis & Wahlin-Jacobsen, 2015). Although there is not a manifest universal decline in sexual desire and responsiveness associated with oophorectomy, a significant number of women, particularly younger women premenopausal prior to surgery, complain of diminished sexual interest or responsiveness, and meet the criteria for the medical diagnosis of sexual desire dysfunction (Davis & Wahlin-Jacobsen, 2015;Lamont et al, 2018;Sayim et al, 2018). Meta-analyses of clinical studies have concluded that exogenous testosterone with and without concurrent estrogen can effectively treat sexual desire concerns (Achilli et al, 2016;Somboonporn, Bell & Davis, 2010).…”

“…In relation to testosterone, the positive conclusions reached in sexual desire studies are reflected in guideline support for therapeutic trials of exogenous testosterone in postmenopausal women distressed by diminished sexual desire and meeting the other criteria for sexual desire dysfunction (Lamont et al, 2018;Shifren & Gass, 2014;Wierman et al, 2014). Despite guideline support for the use of exogenous testosterone in this population of patients, there are no approved testosterone formulations for women in North…”

Primary care use of testosterone therapy to benefit women experiencing distress related to decreased sexual desire after surgical menopause

Testosterone is a biologically significant hormone hypothesized to play a role in supporting women's sexual desire. Women that undergo bilateral oophorectomy experience a marked change in hormonal status including a precipitous decline in testosterone levels. A number of these women experience a corresponding loss of sexual desire which can provoke distress and motivate them to seek sexual health care. Clinical research and guidelines suggest that testosterone therapy may be beneficial in improving sexual desire in these women. However, in Canada there are no licensed testosterone products for women. Consequently, clinicians are required to individually determine how to provide exogenous testosterone therapy. The purpose of this integrative literature review is to provide evidenceinformed recommendations, derived from current literature, to inform nurse practitioners practicing in primary care settings how to safely prescribe, monitor and evaluate testosterone therapy. Research and education recommendations are also presented.

The Effect of Sexual Counseling Based on EX‑PLISSIT Model on Improving the Sexual Function of Married Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2023

Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. This disease triggers sexual dysfunction due to physiological, cognitive and mental effects. Since sexual function is often ignored in these patients, this study aimed to investigate the effect of sexual counseling based on EX‑PLISSIT model on improving the sexual function of married women with SLE. This clinical trial was conducted on 101 married women suffering from SLE (18–49 years) residing in Tehran. Randomization was performed by random block allocation with six blocks in a rheumatology clinic. A demographic questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 Items (DASS-21), and the female sexual function index were used to collect the data. The intervention group received counselling sessions every week while the control group (n = 55) received routine care for the disease. Eight and twelve weeks after completion of counselling sessions, outcomes compared between the intervention and control groups, using independent ttest, paired t-test, repeated measures and Chi-squared test. The scores of sexual function in both groups did not differ significantly before the intervention ( p > 0.05). At the first follow-up session, the score of all sexual function domains except sexual pain increased significantly in the intervention group while a significant reduction was observed in all domains of sexual function in the control group ( p < 0.05). In the second follow-up, sexual function significantly increased in the intervention group whereas it significantly decreased in the control group ( p < 0.05). According to the findings of this study, counseling based on EX-PLISSIT model positively affected the sexual function of women with SLE. Therefore, this model can be used as a cost-effective and simple counseling method to improve the sexual functions.
