Abstract

Introduction: Vaginismus is one of the sexual dysfunctions that can have an unpleasant effect on women's mental health and marital relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Schema Therapy on reducing Anxiety and Depression and improving Sexual Function in women with vaginismus in the city of Kerman. Method: Present study is a descriptive quasi-experimental analysis. Its statistical population comprised of women suffering from vaginismus referring to counseling centers in Kerman. Thirty people were selected as the available sample and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups [15 people in each group]. The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes per week as a group. The Cattle Anxiety Scale [1973], Beck Depression Inventory [1988] and Rosen et al. 's [2000] Sexual Function Questionnaire were administered to both groups in two stages of pre-test and post-test. Data were collected and analyzed using analysis of covariance and repeated measures. Results: The results showed that the therapeutic scheme caused a significant decrease in the mean scores of Anxiety and Depression and a significant increase in the mean scores of Sexual Functions in the experimental group compared to the control group [P <0. 001]. The rate of Anxiety and Depression in the experimental group compared to the control group in the post-test phase and 12-month follow-up compared to the pre-test phase was significantly reduced [P <0. 001] and the rate of Sexual Function in the experimental group compared to the control group in the post-test phase and 12-month follow-up compared to the pre-test was significantly increased [P <0. 001]. Discussion and conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that the schema-therapy is effective in reducing Anxiety and Depression and improving the Sexual Function of clients in counseling centers.
