Influenced by multiple factors, including psychological conditions and hormonal status, it is particularly relevant for medical students, a group prone to mental distress and of reproductive age. This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence of FSD and its association with contraceptive use among female medical students in Brazil. A total of 241 participants completed an anonymous online survey covering sociodemographic data, sexual health history, and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Most participants reported prior contraceptive use (80.9%), and 66.8% were current users. Hormonal contraceptives (HC), particularly oral pills and intrauterine devices, were the most frequently used, surpassing non-hormonal methods. The prevalence of FSFI-defined sexual dysfunction was 47.6%. Women using HC had higher FSFI scores than those using non-hormonal methods or no contraception. In multivariate logistic regression, intrauterine device use remained independently associated with lower odds of FSD. These findings suggest a potential protective role of HC, particularly intrauterine devices, on female sexual function in this population, although evidence remains heterogeneous across studies. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between contraception and sexual function in young women exposed to academic stress.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"544-555"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148031543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using autonomy-supportive techniques has been shown to reduce defensiveness and foster better understanding during difficult interactions. It is unknown if using these same techniques are associated with better emotional and psychological outcomes for those who end their relationship. The current study employed a retrospective, cross-sectional design to examine whether greater autonomy support during romantic relationship dissolution is associated with better psychological well-being (e.g., subjective vitality and positive mood) and lower psychological distress (e.g., negative mood, anxiety, and depression) post-breakup, whether the modality and initiation of the breakup contribute to psychological well-being post-breakup, and whether the effects of time (since the breakup) impact psychological well-being. In a sample of four hundred and thirty-eight individuals, predominantly young, cisgender, heterosexual undergraduates, who recently experienced a breakup, results indicated that i) autonomy support during the breakup was linked to more positive mood and higher subjective vitality, ii) ongoing contact with an ex-partner was associated with increased anxiety and depression, and iii) men reported higher positive mood and lower negative mood and anxiety compared to women. These results highlight important considerations regarding the impacts of breakup experiences, specifically in providing autonomy support when initiating a breakup.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"273-286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147271381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across eight databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Scopus, EBSCO, and TR Dizin, between January 7 and February 7, 2025. Of the 6,437 records identified, seven randomized controlled trials involving 467 participants met the eligibility criteria. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and was rated as low for the primary outcomes. Meta-analysis results indicated that PLISSIT/EX-PLISSIT-based sexual counseling was associated with improved overall sexual function compared with control groups (MD: 7.38, 95% CI: 4.04-10.72, p < .001), with the greatest improvements observed in the pain and lubrication domains. Sexual quality of life was also higher among women receiving sexual counseling interventions (MD: 3.73, 95% CI: 0.99-6.47, p = .008). Overall, these findings suggest that PLISSIT/EX-PLISSIT-based counseling may offer potential benefits for addressing sexual health challenges following gynecologic surgery or gynecologic cancer treatment. However, given the low certainty of evidence according to GRADE, the results should be interpreted cautiously, and further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to strengthen the evidence base.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"339-359"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147444155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensitivity to cues of anxiety and interpretations of arousal sensations may represent the differentiation between \"My heart is racing, so I must be scared\" versus \"My heart is racing, so I must be turned on\". These interpretive differences may help explain why men and women show distinct associations between anxiety and sexual functioning. We examined whether the interpretations of arousal sensations were related to sexual functioning in women and men. Undergraduate, women and men (N = 909) completed measures assessing anxiety sensitivity, positive interpretations of arousal sensations, and sexual functioning. Structural equation modeling was used to examine whether anxiety sensitivity and positive beliefs about arousal sensations were related to dimensions of sexual functioning in women and men. In women, higher anxiety sensitivity correlated with lower sexual satisfaction, whereas higher positive beliefs about arousal sensations correlated with higher sexual desire. In men, higher anxiety sensitivity correlated with higher sexual arousal, erection, and orgasm, whereas higher positive beliefs about arousal sensations correlated with higher sexual desire. Findings support the importance of considering beliefs about arousal sensations when assessing and treating individuals with problems in sexual functioning.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"709-723"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148422054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants completed measures of perceived spousal support, marital quality, and loneliness. Applying the actor-partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM), we found that for both husbands and wives, their own perceived spousal support positively predicted their own marital quality, which in turn negatively predicted their own loneliness, with marital quality fully mediating these actor effects. Regarding the partner indirect effects, the pathway from husbands' perceived spousal support to wives' loneliness was mediated by wives' marital quality, while the reverse partner indirect effect (wives' perceived support → husbands' marital quality → husbands' loneliness) was non-significant. The findings underscore the importance of spousal support and marital quality in alleviating loneliness among bereaved parents in China, while also revealing a gendered dynamic in how perceived support transmits across partners.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"485-489"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147628007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study was conducted between March and July 2025 with 15 literate and married postmenopausal women recruited through snowball sampling. Data were collected via face-to-face, in-depth interviews using a Personal Information Form and a Semi-Structured Interview Form. Content analysis of the interview data identified four main categories, 13 themes, and 20 subthemes. Participant narratives were organized under the following categories: views and experiences regarding menopause, perceptions of sexual life and intimacy, the relationship between menopause and sexual life, and experiences of coping with sexual problems during menopause. The findings revealed that most participants experienced adverse changes in their sexual lives during menopause, including decreased sexual desire and physical discomfort. Women who reported negative experiences predominantly relied on individual coping strategies, such as seeking information independently, modifying behaviors, and adopting psychological acceptance. These findings highlight the importance of developing personalized and holistic healthcare approaches that acknowledge the subjective and multifaceted nature of menopausal experiences and sexual life. Healthcare professionals should consider women's individual perceptions, needs, and coping mechanisms when providing care during the menopausal transition.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"304-316"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147355430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
