The effect of sexual health education package on the sexual life of working women

Assessing the effect of sexual health education package on the sexual life of employed women

A randomized controlled clinical trial with parallel groups, without blinding, was performed on 70 employed women. The random number table of Rand Company was used for randomization.

The present study will be conducted as a clinical trial with the participation of 70 women working in the municipality of District 10 of Tehran in 1399. Employed women will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, the sexual health training package (prepared by the research team) will be done in 8 sessions in 8 weeks as a group to women working in the municipality of District 10 of Tehran. In the control group, no action will be taken.

Major conditions for entering the study before randomization: married employed women living in Tehran, having age 20 to 45, having literacy in Persian, no known underlying disease, no history of psychiatric interventions, no stressful event during the past month, no history of pelvic surgery, no uterine prolapse, cystocele, rectocele and genital infections, no history of depression and anxiety, no consumption of alcohol, drugs and cigarettes (based on self-expression of the samples) and having desire to participate in the study. Major conditions for not entering the study before randomization: Do not attend training sessions (at least two absentee sessions)

In the intervention group, the sexual health training package (prepared by the research team) will be done in 8 sessions in 8 weeks as a group to women working in the municipality of District 10 of Tehran. In the control group, no action will be taken.

Promoting the sexual health

Randomization is generated by random or random number tables and by computers that randomly set numbers. One of these programs is the Rand Company Random Number Table. To use a table of random numbers, the researcher must first define the framework of his / her statistical community; That is, determine the exact number of people in the community and give them a code or number, respectively. Because the total number of people in the community is 70, the codes and numbers assigned to people in the community will also be double digits, such as 01, 02, 03 And we enter these two-digit hunts into the software, then we randomly start from a point in the table in the direction of a row or column to select sample people from the table. The selection of the point can be done by closing the eyes and placing a finger or the tip of a pen on the table. The movement does not differ in the direction of the row or column, and this is up to the researcher. But according to the type of code digits (two digits) he must select the same number of digits in the row or column direction. It then controls the route numbers. He will inevitably encounter two types of numbers, one of which is smaller than the number of the study population and the other of which is larger than the number of the population. It should only consider and select smaller numbers. The selected number is in fact the individual code of the community that is selected as the sample. This should be continued until a small number can be selected based on the number of sample people (35). After the sample size is completed, the sampling work is completed. The 35 people selected are the intervention group and the rest of the codes are the control group.
