This study was planned to determine the effect of sexual counseling given to primary infertile couples in line with the PLISSIT model on sexual function and sexual satisfaction.
By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research, this study aims to: determine the effectiveness of sexual health and development education for children (12-18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disability. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the control group in the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Mentally Retardation in Adolescence" after the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities. H1: After the sexual health and development trainings given to children with intellectual disabilities, the mean score of the "Sexual Development Characteristics Scale of Children with Intellectual Disability in Adolescence" is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The present study aims to examine the effect of the psychosexual caring program on the sexual well-being of infertile women.
Breast cancer and its treatments such as mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy cause many side effects such as scar, problems with body perception and sexual problems. Sexual concerns lead to significant emotional distress, including sadness/depression, issues related to personal appearance, stigma, and negative impacts on personal relationships, intimacy and sexuality all of which reduce the quality of life. This experimental type of research is conducted within the framework of the BETTER model to evaluate the impact of counselling programme on sexuality issues that patients with breast cancer experience.

With this analysis the investigators aim at discovering a difference in sexuality between transmen, cissexual women and cissexual men. A potential impact of body satisfaction will also be explored. Furthermore the investigators want to assess the gender dysphoria in transmen.
Concerns with sexual health and fertility are common among cancer patients, survivors and their partners. Literature reviews suggest that over 60% of survivors have reproductive health problems yet fewer than 20% get professional help. This study will test the uptake, use and effectiveness of online, interactive self-help programs for men and women with cancer. Participants in the study will receive up to 6 months of access to the self-help programs without charge. Navigation through the programs can be personalized by setting goals and following links to the most relevant information. The programs cover all cancer sites and common treatments, explaining sexual and fertility side effects. Programs also include step-by-step cognitive behavioral self-help exercises, guidance on available medical treatment options, decision aids, and video stories with actual survivors as well as vignettes with actors. Information for same-sex couples is included. Programs include suggestions on how partners can work together to cope with sexual or fertility issues. The primary hypothesis is that participants will report improvements in sexual function and satisfaction from baseline to 3-month follow-up. Secondary hypotheses will investigate whether more extensive use of the program is associated with better outcomes (dose-response effect) and whether the intervention also improves secondary outcomes such as anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, and seeking medical help. Analyses from the data will investigate how many people who are informed of the study decide to participate (uptake), as well as how often participants visit the program and which parts are used most. Both the male and female programs have previously been shown to help cancer survivors and partners in published clinical trials. Participants will be encouraged to invite a sexual partner to join the study, but that will be optional. Partners will be able to be linked for statistical analysis through their unique study identification numbers. Participants' use of the websites will be electronically tracked and compared with questionnaire outcome measures. Outcome measures include online, self-report questionnaires completed at baseline and 3-month follow-up. At 6-month follow-up, participants will complete 2 online ratings of the helpfulness of the programs. Privacy and security are carefully protected. The entire website meets standards for HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Questionnaires are identified with study numbers rather than names or email addresses. Once the study data are analyzed, the list linking participant identifying information (names, email) and study numbers will be destroyed. Any publications resulting from the study will discuss group data and will not contain any information that could be used to identify an individual participant.
By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research methodologies, this study aims to: 1) contribute to the limited knowledge professionals have of parents as the primary sexuality educators; 2) create a resource for parents in order to be sexuality educators for their young adults with I/DD; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities Curriculum. In order to meet the objectives the study seeks to answer the following questions: 1. What is the effectiveness of a sexuality education workshop for parents of young adults with DS on improving the self-efficacy and attitudes around sexuality and healthy relationships for young adults with DS as well as increase the parent-child communication on sexuality topics? 2. What are parents' concerns that impact their ability to be the primary sexuality educators for their young adults with DS? It is proposed that parent confidence and comfort talking about sexuality topics with their young adult with Down syndrome will increase thereby increasing the parent-child communication as a result of this study.
