Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sexual desire discrepancy of couples. Timepoint: Determining the sexual desire discrepancy of couples before, immediately and 4 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Using Halbert Sexual Desire Questionnaire, the sexual desire score of each couple will be calculated. The couple's desire discrepancy scores will be calculated as the difference between the couple's sexual desire scores in the Halbert questionnaire, after standardization. That is, men's Z score from women's Z score will be reduced. For the discrepancy to be significant, the absolute value of the Z score with a 95% confidence interval should be greater than 1.96.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
