This study primarily aimed to determine the effect of group education on sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women referred to health centers in Hamadan, Iran.
This randomized controlled clinical trial conducted on 90 postmenopausal women from October 2018 to March 2019. Postmenopausal women who met the inclusion criteria and received approval of a psychiatrist were randomly divided into intervention and control groups (n = 45 in each group). They completed the demographic questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire. Thereafter, four sessions of group training were conducted for women in the intervention group; these women were followed up for 1 month after the last training session. Data were analyzed using the SPSS ver. 16 software, and descriptive statistics and ANCOVA/ANOVA test were used for data analysis.
We found that the two groups were homogenous in most of the demographic variables and the data were normal. The total mean score of sexual function and standard deviation after the intervention was 23.70 ± 3.67 in the intervention group and 19.94 ± 3.64 in the control group, indicating that these scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group ( < 0.001).
Based on the results, group training is recommended to reduce sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women at health centers.
本研究主要旨在确定团体教育对转诊至伊朗哈马丹各健康中心的绝经后女性性功能障碍的影响。
本随机对照临床试验于2018年10月至2019年3月对90名绝经后女性进行。符合纳入标准并获得精神科医生批准的绝经后女性被随机分为干预组和对照组（每组n = 45）。她们完成了人口统计学问卷和女性性功能指数问卷。此后，对干预组女性进行了四节团体培训课程；在最后一次培训课程后对这些女性进行了1个月的随访。使用SPSS 16.0软件进行数据分析，描述性统计和协方差分析/方差分析用于数据分析。
我们发现两组在大多数人口统计学变量上具有同质性且数据呈正态分布。干预后，干预组性功能总平均分及标准差为23.70±3.67，对照组为19.94±3.64，表明干预组这些分数显著高于对照组（<0.001）。
基于研究结果，建议在健康中心开展团体培训以减少绝经后女性的性功能障碍。
