چکیده

مقدمه: رویکردهای مختلفی برای بهبود عملکرد جنسی و کیفیت زندگی جنسی زنان وجود دارد، اما مطالعات طب مکمل در این راستا اندک است. مطالعه حاضر با هدف تعیین تأثیر طب فشاری در نقاط Sp6 و Liv3 بر ارتقای عملکرد جنسی و کیفیت زندگی جنسی زنان انجام شد.
روش‌کار: در این مطالعه کارآزمایی کنترل شده تصادفی که در سال 1398 انجام شد، 126 زن واجد شرایط مراجعه کننده به مراکز بهداشتی منتخب دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران وارد مطالعه شدند. مداخله­ طب فشاری به‌مدت 8 هفته انجام شد. داده­ ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه اطلاعات جمعیت­ شناختی، شاخص عملکرد جنسی زنان (FSFI) و پرسشنامه کیفیت زندگی جنسی ویژه زنان (SQOL-F) جمع‌آوری شد. متغیرهای پیامد قبل، بلافاصله و 4 هفته بعد از مداخله بررسی شدند. تجزیه و تحلیل داده­ ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار آماری SPSS (نسخه 25) و آزمون­ های آماری تی زوجی، کای دو و اندازه‌گیری مکرر انجام شد. میزان p کمتر از 05/0 معنی‌دار در نظر گرفته شد.
یافته ­ها: نتایج آزمون تحلیل واریانس با اندازه­ های تکراری نشان داد که بلافاصله و 4 هفته پس از مداخله، میانگین نمره کل عملکرد جنسی و حیطه ­های آن غیر از درد حین مقاربت، در گروه مداخله در مقایسه با گروه کنترل تفاوت آماری معنی‌داری داشت (05/0>p). میانگین نمره کل کیفیت زندگی جنسی و حیطه­ های آن بین دو گروه تفاوت آماری معنی‌داری نداشت (303/0=p).
نتیجه ­گیری: نتایج نشان‌دهنده اثربخشی طب فشاری در دو نقطه Sp6 و Liv3 بر عملکرد جنسی زنان بود. انجام مطالعات بیشتر جهت توسعه تعمیم‌پذیری نتایج پیشنهاد می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: There are various approaches to improving sexual function and quality of sexual life of women, but there are few studies on complementary medicine. The present study was conducted with aim to determine the effect of acupressure on Sp6 and Liv3 points on improving sexual function and the quality of sexual life of women.
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial study conducted in 2019, 126 eligible women referring to the selected health centers of Tehran University of Medical Sciences were included. Acupressure was performed for 8 weeks. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Female Sexual Quality of Life questionnaire (SQOL-F). The outcome variables were evaluated before, immediately, and 4 weeks after the intervention. Data analysis was done by SPSS software (version 25) and paired t-test, chi-square test, and repeated measurement. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results of the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements showed that immediately and 4 weeks after the intervention, the mean score of the total sexual function and its dimensions other than pain during intercourse had a statistically significant difference in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.05). The mean score of the total quality of sexual life and its dimensions did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.303).
Conclusion: The results show the effectiveness of acupressure at two points Sp6 and Liv3 on women's sexual performance. It is suggested to conduct more studies to develop the generalizability of the results.
