This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to investigate the effect of sexual counseling based on PLISSIT (Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy) and EX-PLISSIT models on sexual function, satisfaction, and quality of sexual life. We searched seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, Scopus, and PubMed). Studies published between January 1, 2010, and August 16, 2022, were included in the search. Eighteen articles were eligible for inclusion in the analysis. There was a significant difference in the sexual function scores of the PLISSIT and EX-PLISSIT groups and the comparison groups (standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.677; 95% CI 0.668, 2.686; p < 0.05) and “sexual and communication satisfaction” sub-dimension of sexual life quality (SMD: 0.748; 95% CI 0.022, 1.475; p < 0.05). There was no difference in the sexual satisfaction (SMD: 0.425; 95% CI − 0.335, 1.184; p > 0.05) and quality of sexual life scores of the PLISSIT and EX-PLISSIT groups and the comparison groups (SMD: − 0.09; 95% CI − 0.211, 0.032; p > 0.05). PLISSIT and EX-PLISSIT models-based sexual counseling on sexual function was affected by the moderator variables of the time of evaluation of the results after the intervention, type of comparison group, the study population, and by whom the intervention was applied. Sexual counseling based on the PLISSIT and EX-PLISSIT models improved sexual function scores and “sexual and communication satisfaction” sub-dimension of sexual life quality.

Background The negative impact of infertility and its treatments on sexual health is well-documented. Self-concept plays a crucial role in sexual behavior and overall sexual health. This study aims to investigate how couple-oriented counseling, using the EX-Plissit model, can influence the sexual self-concept of infertile couples. Methods This study was conducted at Fatemieh Hospital in Hamadan between 2022 and 2023, 60 infertile couples were randomly assigned to either a control group (30 couples) or an intervention group (30 couples). Based on entry criteria, the allocation sequence was determined using six blocks of 4 before the study began. Demographic characteristics and a self-reported sexual self-concept questionnaire were used to identify infertile couples with negative sexual self-concepts. The intervention group received four sessions of couple-centered sexual counseling based on the EX_PLISSIT model, while the control group received routine treatments. Registration date in IRCT: 2022-09-13 .After the sessions, both groups completed the sexual self-concept questionnaire again. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26 software, including descriptive and inferential statistics (paired T-test, independent T-test, Wilcoxon, covariance) with a significance level of P < 0.05. Result The research findings indicated that the average score of women's sexual self-concept in the intervention group before the intervention was 21.50 (4.86), slightly higher than the control group's average of 19.87 (8.41). However, this difference was not found to be statistically significant (p = 0.361). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the average sexual self-concept scores between the intervention and control groups of women after the intervention (p = 0.053). Interestingly, there was a statistically significant difference in the average sexual self-concept scores between the intervention and control groups of men after the intervention (p = 0.003). The paired t-test results revealed a statistically significant difference in the average score of men's self-concept before and after the intervention group intervention (p = 0.001). Furthermore, when comparing the mean (standard deviation) of men's self-concept scores in the post-intervention phase while controlling for pre-intervention scores, smoking, and male occupation, the average score in the intervention group was found to be 17.45 (3.23) lower than the control group's average score of 21 (3.23). This difference was also statistically significant (p = 0.001). Conclusions The results of the current study indicate that couple-based counseling using the Ex-PLISSIT model has a significant impact on improving negative sexual self-perception in infertile couples. Therefore, infertile couples visiting fertility centers should be evaluated for their sexual function and self-perception. If needed, they should be offered educational, therapeutic, and counseling programs to provide them with the necessary information.
