Clinical Trial Summary
This study was conducted as a randomized pretest-posttest study to examine the effect of
sexual counseling based on the PLISSIT model on post-menopausal women's sexual functions,
marital adjustment and quality of sexual life. Sixty women (Experimental=30, Control=30) that
applied to the menopause policlinic of a Women Diseases Training and Research Hospital were
included in the study. Two women dropped out later, so the study was completed with 58
(Experimental=29, Control=29) women. Firstly, women were separated into two groups according
to the cut-point of (26,55) in The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) (those who score 26,6
and above or 26,5 and below) and then these two groups were divided into intervention and
control groups randomly. Data were collected with Descriptive Questions Form, Menopause
Symptom Evaluation Scale (MRS), FSFI, Marital adjustment Scale (MAS) and Sexual Quality of
Life Questionnaire Scale - Female Version (SQOL-F) between September 07, 2020 and March 26,
2021. The intervention group was given sexual counselling, prepared in line with the PLISSIT
model, for three weeks, once a week and lasting approximately one hour. The effect of the
counseling was tested twelve weeks after counseling was completed. Women in the control group
were also interviewed twice concurrent with the intervention group; once when the counseling
began and once during the last assessment. Women in the control group filled some data forms.
After the study was completed, the counseling was also given to women who wanted it, in the
control group. Frequency and percentage values, descriptive statistics, Fisher's Exact Test,
Pearson Chi Square, t tests, for non-normally distributed data Mann Whitney U test and the
Wilcoxon test were used for data analysis.
