“… 19 Accordingly, maintaining sexual self-efficacy can help postmenopausal women satisfy their sexual needs and desires and improve the quality of their sexual relationships. 14 Empirical evidence and previous theories suggest that sexual mindfulness 20 and sexual anxiety and self-esteem 21 are important psychosexual variables in sexual satisfaction. 22 According to some studies, improving mindfulness skills helps people increase their self-efficacy 23 , 24 and sexual satisfaction.…”

“… 11-13 Therefore, a lack of self-confidence and low self-efficacy in postmenopausal women may impair their sexual function, which in turn can disrupt their marital relationships and reduce their quality of life. 14 Therefore, couples can improve the quality of their sex life if they maintain their sexual self-efficacy and self-esteem. 15 Sexual self-efficacy indicates a person’s perceived ability to derive physical and mental pleasure from sexual experiences and is important to sustain sexual activity and alleviate symptoms of sexual dysfunction.…”

Background Menopause with anatomical, physiological, and psychological changes can affect sexual satisfaction and consequently the quality of life. Aims The study sought to evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based counseling on sexual self-efficacy and sexual satisfaction among Iranian postmenopausal women. Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 110 women who were assigned to an intervention group (n = 55) and a control group (n = 55). The intervention group received 8 sessions of mindfulness-based training and daily mindfulness exercises. Data collection tools included questionnaires of demographics and midwifery, sexual self-efficacy, and sexual satisfaction. They were completed before and 8 weeks after the intervention. The collected data were analyzed through a t test, a chi-square test, and repeated-measures analysis of variance. Outcomes Changes in sexual self-efficacy and sexual satisfaction scores were evaluated. Results The mindfulness-based intervention significantly improved sexual self-efficacy (F = 146.98, P = .000, ƞ2 = 0.576) and sexual satisfaction (F = 129.47, P = .000, ƞ2 = 0.545) over time. The mean scores of sexual self-efficacy (17.03 ± 2.08) and sexual satisfaction (87.94 ± 8.26) in the intervention group increased after the intervention as opposed to the mean scores of sexual self-efficacy (12.65 ± 1.70) and sexual satisfaction (76.61 ± 6.45) in the control group. Clinical Implications Mindfulness training can improve sexual self-efficacy and sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women. Strengths and Limitations The intervention was implemented on a population of menopausal women in a culture in which the expression of sexual issues is taboo and has not been noticed in the past. The main limitation of this study was self-reporting, which may have affected the responses. The next limitation was the nonrandomized controlled design. Finally, the research sample included menopausal women who were heterosexual and married. Hence, the findings may not be generalizable to more diverse samples. In this study, psychological maladjustment or psychological distress was not analyzed. They should also be considered in future research. Conclusion According to the results, it is advisable to employ mindfulness-based intervention in routine care, because it can improve different aspects of menopausal women’s life.

Objective This study was conducted to determine the effects of motivational interviewing on sexual quality of life and sexual self-efficacy in postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction. Methods This randomized controlled study was conducted with 164 postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction who presented to the gynecology outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Kahramanmaras, Türkiye (82 experimental, 82 control). The data were collected using a personal information form, the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale–Female Version Questionnaire, the Sexual Quality of Life–Female Questionnaire, and the Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale. Four motivational interview sessions were conducted with the postmenopausal women in the experimental group at 1-week intervals, and those in the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's chi-squared test, and independent samples and paired samples t tests. Results Both the sexual quality of life and sexual self-efficacy levels of the participants in the experimental and control groups were similar in the pretest stage (P > 0.05). After the motivational interviews with those in the experimental group, the rate of sexual dysfunction was determined as 82.9% in the experimental group and 98.8% in the control group. Additionally, after the motivational interviews, the sexual dysfunction scores of the participants in the experimental group decreased significantly, and their sexual quality of life and sexual self-efficacy levels increased significantly compared to those in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions The results of this study revealed that motivational interviewing decreased sexual dysfunction and increased sexual quality of life and sexual self-efficacy in postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction.

Background: Environmental problems are still unsolved, so it is necessary to strengthen parents’ environmental literacy because they play an active role in modeling behavior for their children, including pro-environmental behavior and awareness. Purpose: this study investigated parents’ environmental literacy in pro-environmental behavior, including consumption-related behavior (C-RB) and nature protection behavior (NTB), based on environmental knowledge, environmental affect, and environmental self-efficacy (ES-e). Methodology: The research data collection was done by using a questionnaire in Likert scale format. The study participants were 275 parents. They have early childhood, which determines by accidental sampling from eight provinces in Indonesia. Data analysis begins with descriptive and correlational analysis and continues with structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to test hypotheses and research models. Results: This study found that pro-environmental behavior is influenced by environmental knowledge by mediating environmental affect and ES-e. Its path is that environmental knowledge affects environmental affect and ES-e and then has implications for pro-environmental behavior. Practical implications: The significant direct and indirect effects were confirmed, therefore a new model of the effect of environmental knowledge on pro-environmental behavior mediated by environmental affect and ES-e was found. This model can explain the dynamics parents’ environmental literacy: from environmental knowledge to pro-environmental behavior through the mediating mechanism of environmental affect and ES-e. Therefore, practitioners, academics, and researchers can discuss, adapt, or adopt these findings to develop pro-environmental in the future.
