| Sexual function. Timepoint: before and one month after the intervention. Method of measurement: Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): This questionnaire was designed and validated by Rosen et al. in 1997 and includes 19 closed-ended items in 6 domains: 1- Desire 2- Psychological arousal 3- Wetness 4- Orgasm 5- Satisfaction and 6- Sexual pain, which is based on a five-point Likert scale. The Persian version of the Sexual Function Index is a reliable and valid tool for assessing female sexual function. The reliability of the scale was calculated through stability analysis or internal consistency coefficient. Cronbach's alpha coefficient is = 0.8, which indicates good reliability of this tool. Regarding the scoring method, according to the questionnaire designer's instructions, the scores of each domain are obtained by adding the scores of the questions in each domain and multiplying it by the number of factors. However, since the number of questions in the domains is not equal in the questionnaire, the scores of the questions in each domain are first added together to weight the domains together and then multiplied by the number of factors. The total score of the scale is obtained by adding the scores of the six domains together. In this way, the scoring is such that a higher score indicates better sexual functioning. Based on the equal weighting of the domains, the maximum score for each domain is 6 and for the entire scale is 36. A score of zero indicates that the individual has not had sexual activity for at least the past 4 weeks. The cutoff point for sexual dysfunction is 26.55 and has the highest sensitivity. A higher score indicates a higher level of sexual functioning. The validity and reliability of the FSFI questionnaire in Iranian culture has been previously evaluated by Heidari et al.;Sexual Self-Care. Timepoint: before and one month after the intervention. Method of measurement: This questionnaire was designed by Yazdani et al., in 1401 with the aim of m | — |
