“…The latter can also affect the child and his or her sexual development (Jug Došler, 2015). In addition, Lee and Yen (2007) call attention to the fact that health care professionals should play a more active role and more openly discuss sexual activity and (lack of) sexual pleasure with both partners during the first postpartum check-up with the gynaecologist. They came to the conclusion that individualised approach is the most appropriate form of sex education in the postpartum period.…”

“…The childbearing period is a very vulnerable time in the sex life of a woman or a couple. Generally, sexual activity and intimacy significantly decrease during pregnancy, which can last up to several months after childbirth (Lee and Yen, 2007;Rezaee and Kinsberg, 2012;Boyd et al, 2013). Sexuality after childbirth includes much more than just a physical act of stimulating the genitalia.…”

Introduction: Sexuality after childbirth depends on several factors that may affect a woman at the same time. The aim of the study was to research Slovenian women's experience of sexual intercourse in the first year after childbirth. Methods: A descriptive and causalnonexperimental method of empirical research has been used with a scientific literature review. A convenience sample of 3106 women was used and the data was gathered through an online questionnaire tool. The results were analysed with the use of SPSS ver. 20.0 statistical program. Results: Sixty-two percent of couples started with their sexual intercourse 6 to 8 weeks after childbirth. Sixty-two percent of participants reported their satisfaction with sexual intercourse was the same as in the period before childbirth. Thirty-six percent of women reported lower satisfaction with the sexual intercourse after birth. More than half of the women (57 %) had sexual intercourse less frequently after birth. Thirty-five percent of women reported they would like to have sexual intercourse more frequently. The most commonly reported problem after birth was dyspareunia. Discussion and conclusions: The results of the survey suggest some clear recommendations in terms of optimising the couples' sex life in the period after childbirth and in the first year of the child's life. Health care professionals have to be knowledgeable to share professional advice in the period after childbirth. Key words: pregnancy, sexuality, sexual intercourse, changes, partnership S exuality after childbirth depends on several factors that may affect a woman at the same time. In addition to the state of her reproductive organs and stimulation of her genitalia, it involves her desire and motivation for sexual intercourse, her general health and quality of life, the relationship with her partner, and emotional readiness to regain sexual intimacy with her partner.

Background Throughout the last decade substantial research has been undertaken to develop evidence-based behaviour change interventions for sexual health promotion. Primary care could provide an opportunistic entry for brief sexual health communication.Objectives We conducted a systematic review to explore opportunistic sexual and reproductive health services for sexual health communication delivered at primary health care level. Search strategyWe searched for studies on PubMed, ProQuest, CINAHL, Jstor, Scopus/Science Direct, Cochrane database of systematic reviews, EBSCO, CINAHL, PsychoInfo, and Web of Knowledge. Both published and unpublished articles were reviewed.Selection criteria All randomised controlled trials and controlled clinical trials were included. Participants of all ages, from adolescence onwards were included. Brief (10-60 minutes) interventions including some aspect of communication on sexual health issues were included.Data collection and analysis Data were extracted by two reviewers independently using a standardised form. Interventions differed from each other, hence meta-analysis was not performed, and results are presented individually.Main results A total of 247 articles were selected for full-text evaluation, 31 of which were included. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)/HIV were less often reported in the intervention group compared with the control group. Condom use was higher in most studies in the intervention group. Numbers of sexual partners and unprotected sexual intercourse were lower in the intervention groups.Conclusions There is evidence that brief counselling interventions have some effect in the reduction and prevention of STIs/HIV. Some questions could not be answered, such as the effect over time and in different settings and population groups.
