Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Psychological Distress and Problem-Solving Skills in Women With Vaginismus
Sponsor: Delta University for Science and Technology
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention on psychological distress and problem-solving skills among women with vaginismus. Sixty women diagnosed with vaginismus were randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving CBT or a control group receiving routine care. Psychological distress and problem-solving skills were assessed before and after the intervention using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI). The study examined the effectiveness of CBT in reducing psychological distress and improving adaptive coping and problem-solving abilities among affected women.
