Voices of Transformation: A Deep Dive Into the Struggles and Successes of Reclaiming Sexuality After Sexual Trauma
Sponsor: Sykehuset Telemark
Summary
This study aims to gain insight into the experiences of participants in the "Take Your Sexuality Back" intervention groups, evaluate the intervention's acceptability, and identify necessary modifications. This study is part of a larger project that seeks to establish a scientific basis for this innovative, group-based treatment to help women who have experienced sexual trauma heal their sexuality. Before implementing the intervention in the healthcare system and initiating a larger randomized controlled trial, the investigators will evaluate the intervention's feasibility and potential efficacy, as well as gain a more comprehensive understanding of treatment outcomes. In addition to collecting quantitative data, it is crucial to gather qualitative data on participants' experiences. In this study, data will be obtained through in-depth interviews with group participants after they complete the intervention.
