Descrizione dettagliata
Vaginismus is associated with considerable psychological distress, emotional difficulties, and impaired interpersonal relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing anxiety, maladaptive cognitions, and emotional distress in various psychological and sexual disorders. However, limited evidence is available regarding the effectiveness of CBT interventions among women with vaginismus in Arab populations.
This study used a randomized controlled trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured CBT intervention program on psychological distress and problem-solving skills among women with vaginismus attending outpatient obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Port Said Governorate, Egypt. Participants were randomly allocated into an intervention group and a control group.
The intervention program consisted of structured CBT sessions integrating cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, adaptive coping strategies, and problem-solving training. The intervention was delivered over three months through structured sessions lasting approximately 60-90 minutes.
Primary outcomes included psychological distress measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Secondary outcomes included problem-solving skills measured using the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI). Baseline and post-intervention assessments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
The study aimed to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness and cultural applicability of CBT interventions for women with vaginismus within Arab healthcare settings.
