Quasi-experimental design shows both therapies improve sexual self-concept and marital satisfaction in infertile women, indicating CFT may enhance marital satisfaction more effectively.
Key Points
Both CFT and ST significantly improved sexual self-concept and marital satisfaction in infertile women.
CFT showed a greater impact on marital satisfaction, with statistical significance (p < .05), compared to ST.
Participants attended group sessions—CFT for eight weeks and ST for ten weeks—focused on emotional and cognitive approaches.
The control group did not exhibit significant changes across any measures, underscoring the intervention's effectiveness.
