Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized intervention in sexual health conducted in the midwife consultation to improve the quality of life in women with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. Design: Multicentre randomized clinical trial with groups in parallel, controlled single-blind, with blind evaluation of the response variable, held in the Community of Madrid.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause is a common condition that increases by four the risk of having a sexual dysfunction, and that affects the quality of life of women who suffer it. Those women with an active sexual life have fewer symptoms associated with this syndrome. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized intervention in sexual health conducted in the midwife consultation to improve the quality of life in women with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. Design: Multicentre randomized clinical trial with groups in parallel, controlled single-blind, with blind evaluation of the response variable, held in the Community of Madrid. Population: women aged between 45-65 years with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause attending to the midwife consultation. N= 250 (125 women in each group) will be included by midwifes in the Primary Health Care consultations in the Community of Madrid. Control group: women will receive the usual assistance.

Experimental group: in addition to the usual assistance, women will receive a complex intervention in sexual health, individualized, in the midwife consultation, where techniques for expression, analysis, information and development of sexual health skills will be used. Variables: Main-Quality of life in menopause (measured with the Cervantes Short-Form Scale). Secondary- sociodemographic variables, sexual history and variables related to the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause. Analysis: by intention-to-treat, comparing the quality of life in menopause scores before/after the intervention in both groups after 0, 1 and 6 months. To explain the factors associated with a higher quality of life, a linear regression model would be fitted.
