Aims: This study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention based on the BASNEF model on promoting the sexual health of married women of reproductive age.
Material & Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 52 eligible women. Sampling was performed using the stratified random cluster sampling method. Participants were divided into interventional and control groups. The intervention was carried out based on the BASNEF model over four sessions. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the BASNEF questionnaire, and items on overall sexual health. The sexual health educational content was based on the BASNEF model and recorded through the Camtasia 2020 software. The questionnaires were completed before and 8 weeks after the intervention in the two groups. The data before and after the intervention were compared in the intervention and control groups. Data analysis was done by ANCOVA, and the Chi-square test using SPSS 16.
Findings: After education, the mean scores of beliefs (d=0.000, p=0.133, t(25)=1.55) and subjective norms (d=0.668, p=0.002, t(25)=3.40) in participants in the intervention group increased. After education, the rate of referral to sex counseling centers was significantly higher in the intervention group (34.6%) than in the control group (7.7%; p=0.017).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the implementation of an educational program based on the BASNEF model, in addition to promoting women’s sexual awareness, could modify their subjective norms, as well.
