    • Abstract:
      Aim: This study aimed to examine the effect of sexual counseling based on Extended Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy (Ex-PLISSIT) model on sexual satisfaction in women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: 73 married women with definite MS and FSFI score ≤ 28, aged between 15 and 49 years were randomized as experimental group [n = 37] and control group [n = 37]. Sexual counseling based on the Ex-PLISSIT model were performed in four weekly sessions in the experimental group. Sexual satisfaction and sexual distress were measured before the intervention, 4 and 12 weeks after intervention using Larson Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire and Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised. Data were analyzed by using SPSS Software version 16, and t-test, Chi-square, GLM Repeated Measures were used for data analysis. Results: There was statistically significant increase in SS score when data were compared through 3 phases of evaluation in experimental group [P < 0.001] versus there was no statistical difference in control group. Also, SD score significantly decreased in experimental group through 3 phases of evaluation [P < 0.001] versus no statistical differences were seen in control group. Conclusion: According to this study, sexual counseling based on Ex-PLISSIT model can alter SS and SD of married women with MS in good manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
