Background Educational interventions for self-care are a necessary solution to help postmenopausal women properly deal with menopausal problems. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of self-care training using an application on the quality of marital relations and the severity of menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women in Iran. Methods In this study, 60 postmenopausal women selected using the convenience sampling method were divided into two groups, intervention and control, using simple random allocation (lottery). The intervention group used the menopause self-care application for eight weeks in addition to routine care, but the control group only received the routine care. The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Perceived Relationship Quality Components (PRQC) questionnaire were completed in two stages, before and immediately after eight weeks, in both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16), descriptive (mean and standard deviation), and inferential (ANCOVA and Bonferroni post hoc) statistics. Results The ANCOVA results showed that the use of the menopause self-care application decreased the severity of the participants’ menopause symptoms (P = 0.001) and improved the quality of their marital relations (P = 0.001). Conclusion Implementation of a self-care training program through the application helped improve the quality of marital relations and reduce the severity of postmenopausal women's symptoms, so it can be used as an effective method to prevent the unpleasant consequences of menopause. Trial registration The present study was registered at https://fa.irct.ir/ on 2021–05-28 (registration number: IRCT20201226049833N1).

“…In particular, women, who in this study placed higher value on how sexually stimulating their intimate relationships are, might consider taking an assertive role in creating enjoyable shared activities during sex. This can be achieved by communicating effectively about what they like and want during sexual activities ( Dastyar et al, 2018 ). By focusing on these aspects, both partners can work together to make their relationship more satisfying and fulfilling.…”

IntroductionPositive sexuality, defined as the happiness and fulfillment individuals derive from their sexual experiences, expressions, and behaviors, has been linked to relationship satisfaction and health. However, the intricate associations between positive sexuality and relationship functioning and health indicators have rarely been explored from a network perspective. This approach, by analyzing the interconnections among these factors within a broader system, can offer insights into complex dynamics and identify key variables for targeted interventions.MethodsThe present study applied network analysis to uncover interconnections between positive sexuality, relationship satisfaction, and health indicators, highlight the most relevant variables and explore potential gender-based differences in a sample of 992 partnered individuals (51% women, aged 18–71 years). Networks were estimated via Gaussian Graphical Models, and network comparison test was used to compare men and women.ResultsResults indicated that variables related to positive sexuality were more highly interconnected than the rest of the network. There were small-to-negligible connections between positive sexuality and relationship satisfaction variables, both of which had negligible or no connections with health. The network was globally invariant across gender, though a few connections were gender-specific. The most important variables, regardless of gender, related to pleasurable feelings during sexual intercourse.DiscussionThe findings underscore the importance of enhancing positive sexual experiences within intimate relationships and have implications for research and clinical practice in positive sexuality.

“…also showed that group sexual assertiveness counseling had a positive effect on the marital satisfaction of female students. [ 11 ] The positive impact of sexual counseling with focus on assertiveness shows that first, the women studied have low sexual assertiveness and second, assertiveness is one of the missing contents in such educational programs.…”
