dc.description.abstractBackground: In the postpartum period, changes including pain during intercourse, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, and failure to reach orgasm can affect a woman's sexual response cycle. Aim: This research aimed to determine the effect of midwifery training on postpartum sexual dysfunction among primiparous women. Subjects and Methods: This research using a single-blind randomized controlled experimental and follow-up design. The sample consisted of 70 women, divided equally into training and control groups. Research data were collected using an information form, the Female Sexual Function Index and the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale. In the first phase of our study, 306 primiparous women were interviewed. Results: The mean Female Sexual Function Index score of the women was 25.18 +/- 5.47 and 40.2% reported sexual dysfunction. When comparing the training and control groups before training, the total score average of the ASEX was 10.48 +/- 2.13 in the training group and 11.06 +/- 3.86 in the control group. The average score in the post-training was higher in the group given education (22.45 +/- 2.17) than in the control group (17.08 +/- 3.92) and this difference was significant (p = 0.000). It was determined that 42% of the change in the third follow-up scores of pregnant women in the training group could be explained by the education session they received. Conclusion: Our data showed a positive change in the sexual dysfunction scores of women, suggesting the education program was successful.
