Abstract

Background: Sexual satisfaction is vital for the durability of couple relationships. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is characterized by a continuous or recurring lack of sexual thoughts and desire for sexual activity, resulting in significant psychological discomfort, interpersonal problems, and other unpleasant emotional states such as sexual dissatisfaction. Aim: This study aimed to  assess the effect of sexual incentive motivation intervention on sexual satisfaction of women. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used (pre and posttest one group). Setting: The study was conducted at outpatient clinics at Menoufia University and Shebin El-Kom teaching hospitals. The study recruited 132 women were chosen for the research based on their responses from outpatient clinics. Four Tools were used for data collection: a structured interviewing questionnaire, assessment of female sexual dysfunction questionnaire, sexual dysfunctional beliefs questionnaire, and new sexual satisfaction scale questionnaire. Results showed that the intervention significantly improved sexual satisfaction among women relative to before the intervention levels. The total mean score was increased from 66.1667 ± 4.88676 pre-intervention to 86.0227 ± 3.94710 post-intervention                    (p < 0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that the application of sexual incentive motivation intervention was beneficial in addressing sexual dysfunction issues and increasing satisfaction. Recommendations. Screening for sexual health should be standard practice for all healthcare providers. Maternity nurses should use sexual incentive motivation to increase sexual motivation
