简要总结
Sexual life, an integral part of overall health, remains one of the most neglected, undervalued, and problematic areas within today's healthcare system Various management strategies exist for managing sexual dysfunction, including behavioral, psychological, and pharmacological strategies, and researchers have used education and counseling interventions for this purpose. One such intervention is the BETTER model, which aims to collaborate with individuals experiencing sexual difficulties to address their problems. Discussing sexuality with individuals experiencing sexual difficulties and providing counseling services will significantly benefit healthcare professionals in promoting safe sexual practices, identifying existing or potential sexual problems, and addressing these issues

After sexual counseling based on the BETTER model, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scale were administered to women in the experimental and control groups via face-to-face interviews. The administration time for each scale varied between 15 and 20 minutes. Changes in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scale were measured two months after sexual counseling based on the BETTER model. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) It was developed by Rosen et al. as a multidimensional scale comprising 19 items to evaluate female sexual function.

The lowest and highest scores are 2 and 36, respectively. Higher scores indicated better sexual function. The cut-off value of the scale was 26.55.
