Abstract
Sexual dysfunction is common during pregnancy. This disorder will continue and worsened during the postpartum period, greatly affecting family happiness. The objective of the study was to access the effectiveness of communication and counseling interventions to improve sexual function of pregnant women. We used Female Sexual Functuin Function Index to assess sexual dysfunction for pregnant women. The study’s results showed that the FSFI score in the control group decreased by -2.5 (IQR: -7.2 to 0.2) points while in the intervention group, the decrease was only -1.1 (IQR: -5 to 2.6) points. This difference is statistically significant with p < 0.05. In the intervention group, pregnant woman who did not read media books or read less than 20% had the same reduction in FSFI scores after 1 month as the control group. The higher the reading level, the better the FSFI score. The risk of no intercourse during pregnancy in the control group was 2.81 times higher (95% CI 1.26 - 6.29) than in the intervention group. There was 64.0% of reduction in the risk of not having intercourse in the intervention group in comparison with the control group.
