Abstract: (1946 Views)
Background and Aim: Sexual activity is a multi-faceted construct that is
influenced by multiple variables, including individual, social, and psychological
factors. Sex education can facilitate the reduction of disease complications,
especially in patients suffering from ischemic heart disease. Regarding this, the
present research aimed at examining the impact of a self-care education program
on sexual function in ischemic heart disease patients.
Materials and Methods: The present semi-experimental research was conducted
on 60 patients afflicted with ischemic heart disease, in the Vali Asr Hospital in Qom,
Iran, in 2017. The study population was assigned into two groups of control and
intervention by the simple random sampling technique. The patients were
subjected to self-care education via CDs. the data were collected by means of the
Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, as well as demographic and clinical form. The
two research groups filled out the questionnaires prior to and a minimum of one
month following the training. Data analysis was performed by Wilcoxon test,
central tendency, and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: According to the results, the patients in the intervention and control
groups had the mean ages of 58.1±5.8 and 57.66±4.5, respectively. There was a
statistically significant difference in the sexual function of the intervention group
after the educational intervention, compared to that before the intervention
(P<0.05). However, no such difference was observed in the control group between
the two study stages (P>0.05).
Conclusion: As the findings indicated, sexual training programs could result in the
improvement of sexual function in patients suffering from ischemic heart disease.
Accordingly, nurses are recommended to consider such educational interventions
for patients with this heart condition.
