“…10,11 There is a wide range of causative factors and etiologies that lead to FSD which is made up of an interplay of biological and psychosocial components such as age, level of education, and partner-relationship. 12 It is worth noting that female genital mutilation, a practice still ongoing in sub-Saharan Africa, is considered one of the major causative factors of FSD. 7,8,12 The prevalence of FSD varies between different populations, age groups, and countries ranging from 24−63%.…”

“…15,16 Also, in other countries such as Nigeria, there has been a slow yet steady interest on the topic of FSD with studies estimating their national prevalence between 53.3−71%, and the commonest form being that of arousal difficulties. 12 Despite the myriad of studies on FSD globally, this is not the case in sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, most of these studies are carried out in the hospital setting, usually amongst women with some form of chronic disease.…”

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common public health issue. Most studies, especially in the sub-Saharan region are typically carried out in the older married female population, but the post-secondary education period is crucial for the development of the sexuality of young women. Poor awareness and management of FSD may lead to adverse physical and psychosocial complications later on in the lives of these women. Aim: To determine the prevalence of the risk of having FSD and the factors associated with having FSD among sexually active students of the University of Buea. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the University of Buea involving 405 sexually active students; 16 years of age and above. Quantitative data on sociodemographic, biological, interpersonal and psychosocial characteristics were collected. A validated Japanese modified version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-J) was used to assess the risk of having female sexual dysfunction. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, binary and multivariate logistic analyses. Main Outcome Measures: Prevalence of risk of having FSD and its associated factors among students of the University of Buea. Results: A total of 171 (42.0%) out of 405 students showed a risk of having at least one form of FSD. The commonest forms of dysfunction were problems of sexual pain (46.9%), orgasm (42.0%), desire (29.1%) and arousal (21.2%). Participants who were unmarried but in a relationship (P = .002) were less likely to experience FSD. Lower levels of education (first year [P = .005], second year [P = .001]), having a history of sexual assault (P = 0.012) and poor health (P = .012) were all independently associated with a higher risk of having FSD. Conclusion:The prevalence of students at risk of having FSD was high with 4 out of every 10 students showing a risk of having at least one form. Lower levels of education, having a history of sexual assault and poor health were independent risk factors of FSD. Being unmarried but in a relationship was the sole protective factor against FSD.

“…Though both couples face the challenge, of infertility the women feel guilt, stress, and responsibility more than the men do. Due to this fact, even if the crux of infertility is not from the woman, the blame is often placed on women [14][15][16]. While some studies had been conducted on sexual Dysfunction in the Nigerian female population [5,[14][15][16], there is no study specifically assessing the effect of female sexual Dysfunction on the self-esteem of infertile Nigerian women using validated tools.…”

This study assessed the effect of sexual Dysfunction on the self-esteem between infertile and fertile married women in Ife East Senatorial district Southwest Nigeria. This was a comparative cross-sectional study using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. It was conducted at infertility and family planning clinics of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Using stratified random sampling, 222 infertile women at infertility clinic and 222 family planning clients who met inclusion criteria were recruited from 2020 to 2021. Quantitative data was assessed using the Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaire, while an in-depth interview guide was employed to collect qualitative data. Data were managed using SPSS version 22. P-value was set at P <0.05. Fifty (22.5%) infertile women had low self-esteem compared with five (2.3%) of fertile women. which was statistically significant (P<0.001). Among fertile women, female sexual Dysfunction did not affect self-esteem (P=0.346), but among infertile women, female sexual Dysfunction significantly affected self–esteem (P=0.016). There is a positive relationship between female sexual function index scores and self-esteem scores among fertile and infertile women (r= 0.294 and 0.354 respectively) p<0.001 Sexual dysfunctions among infertile women adversely affected their self-esteem.

BackgroundCounseling as part of the informed consent process is a prerequisite for cesarean section (CS). Postnatal debriefing allows women to explore their CS with their healthcare providers (HCPs).ObjectivesTo describe the practices and experiences of counseling and debriefing, the barriers and facilitators to informed consent for CS; and to document the effectiveness of the interventions used to improve informed consent found in the peer‐reviewed literature.Search StrategyThe databases searched were PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Africa‐wide information, African Index Medicus, IMSEAR and LILACS.Selection CriteriaEnglish‐language papers focusing on consent for CS, published between 2011 and 2022, and assessed to be of medium to high quality were included.Data Collection and AnalysisA narrative synthesis was conducted using Beauchamp and Childress's elements of informed consent as a framework.Main ResultsAmong the 21 included studies reporting on consent for CS, 12 papers reported on counseling for CS, while only one reported on debriefing. Barriers were identified at the service, woman, provider, and societal levels. Facilitators all operated at the provider level and interventions operated at the service or provider levels.ConclusionsThere is a paucity of research on informed consent, counseling, and debriefing for CS in sub‐Saharan Africa.
