Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of motivational interviews with women who experience sexual dysfunction during menopause on sexual quality of life and self-efficacy.The population of the study consisted of menopausal women who applied to the gynecology outpatient clinic of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University Health Practice and Research Hospital. It was calculated as 164 women (82 experimental, 82 control).In data collection, 'Personal Information Form (EK- )', 'Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ACYÖ) (EK- )', 'Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female (SIQQ-F) (EK-)' and 'Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale' (Annex- )' was used.
The primary goal of this protocol is to conduct an open pilot to collect initial quantitative and qualitative feedback on the intervention that the investigators are developing. To do so, the investigators will deliver a newly-developed intervention to up to 2 consecutive groups of female colorectal and anal cancer survivors (n = up to 10 per group, total N = up to 20). Participants will provide feedback regarding intervention acceptability, feasibility, and perceived benefit. To inform plans for ongoing program refinement, the investigators will elicit specific feedback about study assessment tools, recruitment procedures, and group factors. Given the early-stage, open pilot nature of this protocol, the investigators will not set strict criteria to establish feasibility and acceptability but will rather interpret each of these outcomes holistically. Qualitative feedback collected in post-intervention exit interviews will also support understanding of feasibility and acceptability. As a secondary aim, the investigators will explore the preliminary effects of the intervention on psychosocial measures of satisfaction with sexuality and impact of functional limitations, coping abilities, acceptance of body image changes, loneliness, and anticipated stigma. As noted above, the investigators will not set specific criteria to establish preliminary efficacy, nor will they consider statistical significance as an indicator of the study's efficacy for these outcomes. Instead, the investigators will consider pre-post intervention effect sizes to consider the need for refinement of study procedures/measurement in a future larger trial. In future, larger-scale, work, the investigators intend to conduct a larger randomized pilot trial to assess intervention acceptability, feasibility, as well as preliminary efficacy on essential outcomes related to sexual well-being.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a nurse-led psychoeducational sexual health intervention for young women breast cancer survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of this intervention in an online, private setting? 2. What is the effect of this intervention on reducing menopausal symptoms, improving sexual functioning, and enhancing body image? Participants will participate in a nurse-led psychoeducational intervention for 8 sessions lasting approximately an hour each over the course of 8 - 10 weeks. Each participant will complete survey items at the beginning, end, and six-weeks after the last session. Participants will be compensated up to $150 in gift cards as a thank-you for their time.
The purpose of this study; To investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscle exercises on vaginal and sexual health in postmenopausal women. Vaginal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning and dyspareunia occur in the postmenopausal period. Vaginal symptoms affect sexual function, leading to a decrease in quality of life. In our study, we plan to evaluate vaginal dryness, one of the vaginal symptoms, using Schirmer's Test. Also in our study; Severities of vaginal dryness, burning and dyspareunia will be evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS), sexual function will be evaluated with the Post-Menopausal Sexuality Questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Scale, vaginal aging will be evaluated with the Daily Effect of Vaginal Aging Scale, and the presence/severity of pelvic floor symptoms will be evaluated with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20. The cases will be randomized into two groups and pelvic floor exercises will be given to one group. After the exercises are given, vaginal pH and moistness will be evaluated for acute effect. In the other group, vaginal PH and moisture will be measured after 5 minutes. The cases will be followed without any intervention to the control group. After 12 weeks, the same evaluations will be made to both groups and the results will be compared. The data will be compared using appropriate statistical methods (statistical significance value will be taken as p<0.05) and discussed with the literature.
The purpose of this study is to compare two Psychosexual Educational programs for women who have completed treatment for breast or gynecological cancer and their partners in preparation for a well-powered phase III study. The investigators plan to enroll 30 dyads in a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim will be to assess the preliminary efficacy of the Psychosexual Educational Partners Program (PEPP) on sexual communication.
Urinary incontinence, commonly observed among women aged 30 to 60, encompasses Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), responsible for the majority of cases. This condition significantly affects the quality of life, influencing physical, emotional, and sexual aspects. Severe cases impact libido and cause vaginal dryness, affecting not just sexual function but also relationships, leading to an overall decline in quality of life. Hence, examining sexual functions in those affected by SUI holds significance. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of mesh-urethra distance on sexual functions using perineal ultrasound in continent patients post-transobturator tape (TOT) surgery for isolated SUI. Patients achieving continence post-surgery were categorized based on the distance from the posterior of the urethra at the bladder neck to the nearest proximal edge of the tape: < 5 mm and > 5 mm. Questionnaires, including the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and The Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), were administered preoperatively and at the 6-month postoperative follow-up.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel versus vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women. The main question it aims to answer is: Is vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel more effective than vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women Participants will be randomized into 2 treatment groups: vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group and vaginal lubricant group. Researchers will compare whether vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group has better improvement than vaginal lubricant group.
Our aim with this study is to evaluate the sexual functions of pregnant women whose pregnancies are defined as high-risk pregnancies and whose pregnancies are followed by perinatology specialists.
The purpose of this study is to assess the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of a educational video series for patients going through breast cancer treatment.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of adding pre-rehabilitation pelvic health physical therapy to standard of care radiation therapy treatment plan for female patients who have been diagnosed with cervical, vaginal, vulvar, uterine, or anal cancer and are a candidate for curative pelvic radiation with external beam. Participants will receive education on using a vaginal dilator for use during treatment and complete questionnaires looking at pain and sexual function.
