Detailed Description

The Effect of Sexual Education Based on the PLISSIT Model on Sexual Function, Attitudes towards Sexuality and Sexual Distress in Pregnant Women

Method of the study: FSFI will be applied to pregnant women between 14-20 weeks of gestation who apply to Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Obstetrics Clinic, Polyclinic and Perinatology Clinic departments, and women with a score ≤ 26.55 as a result of the FSFI evaluation will be defined as having sexual dysfunction. Pregnant women will be randomized according to the last digit of their protocol number. Pregnant women divided into control and intervention groups will be given PLISSIT model-based sexual health education to the intervention group and a clinical procedure will be applied to the control group. The Sexual Attitude Scale during Pregnancy and the Female Sexual Distress Scale will be administered simultaneously. Four weeks after the training, the FSFI application and the Sexual Attitude Scale during Pregnancy and the Female Sexual Distress Scale will be administered again.
