Abstract

This study examined whether time, treatment type, baseline individual differences, and treatment satisfaction affected the vaginal intercourse trajectories of women with Provoked Vestibulodynia (PVD) before and after psychological treatment. Women (N = 130) who received CBT or MBCT completed questionnaires prior to and 2-4 weeks, 6-, and 12-months following treatment. The odds of women engaging in vaginal penetration increased by 31% at each assessment. Baseline individual differences and treatment satisfaction predicted maintenance of or re-engagement in vaginal penetration at post-treatment. Findings suggest that women who refrain from vaginal intercourse after treatment differ from women who continue or resume this activity.

摘要

本研究检查了时间、治疗类型、基线个体差异和治疗满意度是否影响心理治疗前后诱发性前庭痛 (PVD) 女性的阴道性交轨迹。 接受 CBT 或 MBCT 的女性 ( N = 130) 在治疗前和治疗后 2-4 周、6 个月和 12 个月完成问卷。在每次评估中，女性进行阴道插入的几率增加了 31%。基线个体差异和治疗满意度预测了治疗后阴道插入的维持或重新参与。研究结果表明，治疗后避免阴道性交的女性与继续或恢复这种活动的女性不同。
