Abstract: (633 Views)
Background: Self-awareness and sexual satisfaction can be affected by the fear following the spread of disease. The study was done with the aim of comparing self-awareness and sexual satisfaction scores before and during the Corona period in married women covered by health service centers.
Methods: Descriptive-analytical research was conducted on 60 reproductive age women who participated in an intervention study before Corona (2017). The Persian self-awareness and sexual satisfaction tools of the first study were provided online to the participants. Data analysis was done through spss-16 and Shapiro-Wilk, Machelli, repeated analysis of variance, Bonferroni, Tukey with a confidence factor of 0.95.
Results: In the intervention group; the mean score of sexual satisfaction at times one (before the intervention in the first study) and two (after the intervention in the first study) (101.77 ± 10.59, 110.51 ± 8.37, respectively) increased significantly (P-Value<0.001) and in Times two and three (COVID-19 period) (110.51 ± 8.37, 107.06 ± 9.21, respectively) have decreased significantly (P-Value <0.007). The mean score of private self-awareness decreased significantly in times two and three (31.9±4.5, 27.67±5.17) ، (P-Value <0.001). The mean score of general self-awareness had no significant changes in time two and three (17.38±3.07, 15.61±3.55, respectively). The mean scores of social increased significantly during the COVID-19 period (11.83±6.42).
Conclusion: The results show that the score of sexual satisfaction, private and public self-awareness of women in the intervention group remained higher than the control group during the covid-19. This shows that the effect of self-awareness training has not completely disappeared.
