简要总结
Premature ejaculation involves not only sexual problems but also relationship and communication difficulties, and behavioral approaches to the treatment of premature ejaculation are promising.
详细描述
Introduction and hypothesis: Premature ejaculation potentially affects not only men but also their partners negatively. The null hypothesis for this study is Behavioral therapy given to men with premature ejaculation has no effect on the symptoms and their partners' sexual functions and quality of sexual life.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study. The current study was conducted in 84 men and their partners. The "Personal Information Form", "Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT)", "Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)", and "Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F)" were used to collect data. Behavioral therapy, consisting of a total of 6 sessions of 45 minutes, was applied once every two weeks.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment group
Pre-tests were applied to the men (Personal Information Form and PEDT) and their spouses (Personal Information Form, FSFI, and SQOL-F) just before the behavioral treatment was applied to the men in the treatment group. In the first interview with the men, the researchers delivered information about behavioral therapy and set therapy days and hours. Structured interviews, consisting of a total of 6 sessions, were held once every two weeks for men with premature ejaculation problems. Behavioral therapy took place once every two weeks for a total of six 45-minute sessions. The "stop-start technique" was the therapy used. Behavioral therapy interviews were conducted at the urology outpatient clinic of the hospital. Post-tests were administered to men with premature ejaculation (PEDT) and their spouses (FSFI and SQOL-F) immediately after the 6th session was completed.

结局指标
主要结局
Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT)
时间窗: six weeks
it was developed by Symonds et al. (2007) to better define premature ejaculation for use in clinical studies, this is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 5 items. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Serefoglu et al. (2009). The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20.0 and the lowest score is 0.0. Scores higher than 11 are defined as "PE", scores of 9-10 are defined as "possible PE", and scores of eight or less are defined as "no PE".
