Filter by:This single-case experimental design aims to evaluate the acceptability & feasibility of an online guided self-help intervention for female survivors of sexual assault who experience difficulties returning to sex. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is the intervention viewed as acceptable by female survivors of sexual assault? Acceptability is defined as as how willing participants are to use the materials and their satisfaction with its content. The secondary question is, are there initial indicators that the intervention is effective? Effectiveness is measured by a reduction in the measure of sexual distress and improvement of sexual satisfaction - specifically confidence and motivation in practising strategies that will improve their experience of sex. Participants will complete the intervention independently. There will be 4-sessions which involve watching videos, with one session completed weekly. The developed materials aim to to help women understand their difficulties, learn practical strategies and build confidence in returning to sex. The materials are also guided by a piloted group for sexual distress by Bart's National Health Service (NHS) trust Sexual Wellbeing Service. The NHS is the publicly funded healthcare system in England.
A treatment centered on the person uses an approach capable of considering all the components of disability, from a physical, psychological and social point of views. Some studies have shown that sexual function is disturbed in subjects with low back pain (LBP) and sexual disability can contribute to a deterioration in quality of life. It has also been shown that, in sexually active patients complaining of LBP, sexuality is a significant mediator of the relationship between pain intensity and depressive symptoms. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) includes a specific item to investigate sexual function (item #8). A previous study of ours confirmed the relationship between sexual disability detected by the ODI and the presence of depression, avoidance of activities and rumination (Ferrari et al. 2019 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1589/jpts.31.360). The discussion on sexual disability among patients and healthcare professionals is very limited, although patients require more involvement from clinicians, especially physiotherapists, as evidenced by our previous qualitative study (Ferrari et al. 2020 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1080/09638288.2020 .1817161). Although studies on this topic have highlighted the importance of this disability in the life of subjects complaining of LBP, little has been investigated on clinical behaviors of the physiotherapists in this area.
