Women with perfect health are strong foundations of a healthy and prosperous family life and suppressing the natural needs of women will have adverse effects on the intimacy and vitality of family members, especially in the field of sexual function. This study aimed to determine the effect of GIM on the level of sexual function in women with sexual dysfunction.
In this cluster randomized trial, which was conducted from 2018 to 2019 in the randomly selected comprehensive health centers of Isfahan, Iran, 72 women of reproductive age (two groups of 36 people) with sexual dysfunction were selected by convenience sampling method, and then, music-guided imagination was performed on the intervention group. No special intervention was performed in the control group. Data collection tools were demographic characteristics questionnaire and a standard questionnaire of the female sexual function index.
There was no statistically significant difference in sexual function and demographic characteristics before the intervention between the two groups ( = 0/301). The results demonstrated that the overall score of sexual function in the intervention subjects was better than the control group ( = 0/003). Improvement of sexual function dimensions (desire, arousal, orgasm) was also significant in the intervention group compared to the control group ( < 0.05).
GIM can be effective in improving women's sexual function. Providing this technique as a low-cost and affordable method is recommended to health experts in private and government clinics. This method can improve the mental health of the family and society.
健康的女性是健康繁荣家庭生活的坚实基础，压抑女性的自然需求会对家庭成员的亲密关系和活力产生不利影响，尤其是在性功能方面。本研究旨在确定指导性意象音乐疗法（GIM）对性功能障碍女性性功能水平的影响。
在这项整群随机试验中，于2018年至2019年在伊朗伊斯法罕随机选取的综合健康中心进行，通过便利抽样法选取了72名患有性功能障碍的育龄女性（两组，每组36人），然后对干预组实施音乐引导想象。对照组未进行特殊干预。数据收集工具为人口统计学特征问卷和女性性功能指数标准问卷。
两组干预前性功能和人口统计学特征无统计学显著差异（P = 0.301）。结果表明，干预组受试者性功能的总体得分优于对照组（P = 0.003）。与对照组相比，干预组性功能维度（性欲、性唤起、性高潮）的改善也具有显著性（P < 0.05）。
指导性意象音乐疗法可有效改善女性性功能。建议私立和政府诊所的健康专家将此技术作为一种低成本且可负担得起的方法。这种方法可改善家庭和社会的心理健康。
