Abstract

Aims This study aimed to measure the knowledge level and information needs of patients with diabetes in Yogyakarta Cit This study aimed to investigate the effect of yoga on the sexual function and sexual quality of life of women after vaginal delivery. Materials & Methods This randomized controlled trial included 36 women who were 8-10 weeks postpartum, recruited from a health center in Isfahan, Iran, from January 2020 to March 2021. The women were randomly assigned to two groups with a block size of four, including the intervention group that practiced sexual yoga techniques and the control group that received information on postpartum recovery and lactation. Both groups completed the Sexual Quality of Life-Female Questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index before the intervention, as well as one month, two months, and three months after the intervention. Data were analyzed by R software using the independent sample t-test, analysis of variance, Friedman’s test, and the Chi-square test. Findings The mean total score for sexual function three months after the intervention in the intervention group showed a significant improvement compared to before the intervention (20.52±7.86 vs. 29.56±3.53, t(34, 0.975), p<0.001). Additionally, the sexual quality of life in the intervention group significantly improved after three months of intervention compared to the control group (99.94±10.62 vs. 76.83±20.23, t(34, 0.975), p<0.001). Conclusion Yoga practices enhance the sexual function and sexual quality of life of women following vaginal delivery. © 2024, the Authors.
