“…Other treatments for female sexual dysfunctions have been suggested, such as acceptance and commitment therapy [ 66 ] and psychoeducational interventions [ 52 , 67 ]. In addition, the effects of traditional Chinese approaches to treating female sexual dysfunctions (besides mindfulness) have also been begun to be studied [ 68 , 69 ], mainly including acupuncture [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ], yoga [ 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 ], and herbal products [ 80 ].…”

Many possible factors impact sexual wellbeing for women across the lifespan, and holistic approaches are being utilized to promote health and to address sexual concerns. Female sexual dysfunction disorders, including female orgasmic disorder, female sexual interest/arousal disorder and genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, negatively impact quality of life for many women. To reduce distress and improve sexual functioning, numerous behavioral therapies have been tested to date. Here, we present a state-of-the-art review of behavioral therapies for female sexual dysfunction disorders, focusing on empirically validated approaches. Multiple psychotherapies have varying degrees of support, with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based therapies arguably having the most empirical support. Nonetheless, several limitations exist of the studies conducted to date, including the frequent grouping together of multiple types of sexual dysfunctions in randomized clinical trials. Thus, additional research is needed to advance treatment development for female sexual dysfunctions and to promote female sexual health.

“…Sexual quality of life is the primary outcome of our future RCT and will be measured at baseline and follow-up using the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F). SQOL-F was initially designed by Symonds et al using data sets from women’s health surveys in the United Kingdom and the United States to examine how female sexual dysfunction impacts women’s sexual quality of life [42]. This tool comprises 18 questions that capture sexual self-esteem, emotional well-being, and relationship issues in women [42].…”

Most Indonesian gynecological cancer survivors have unmet supportive care needs during chemotherapy, which may lower their quality of life and discontinue the treatment. Digital health intervention can address this issue. This pilot investigation aims to (1) examine the feasibility and acceptability of a Fighting on distRess, Self-efficacy, Health Effects, and seXual issues (FoRSHE-X) intervention and (2) evaluate prospectively the impact of the study implementation on the level of distress, self-efficacy, side effects’ knowledge and management, and sexual quality of life using the RE-AIM (Reach Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework. This is a non-randomized pilot and feasibility study. We will recruit women diagnosed with gynecological cancer undergoing chemotherapy to participate in the FoRSHE-X intervention consisting of ten weeks of social media-based education and telecoaching. We will evaluate the primary outcomes of study feasibility and acceptability, and the secondary outcomes of study impacts at three time points with quantitative and qualitative inquiries. We anticipate a minimum of 30 participants to enroll in the study and complete the assessment. We will disseminate results through conferences and peer-reviewed scientific journals. This study will imply whether a definitive trial to evaluate the potential benefits of the FoRSHE-X is viable and how it should proceed. The protocol can aid researchers or nurses in implementing this approach in their study or practice.
