Brief Summary

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

Sexual dysfunction is common in pregnant women (46.6%, 34.4%, and 73.3% in women in the first, second, and third trimester worldwide, respectively). These dysfunctions can persist after childbirth, affecting quality of life, marriage satisfaction, and family happiness. In Vietnam, a country heavily influenced by the Eastern traditions, sexual activity is considered private and only shared between husband and wife. Many women have wrong beliefs that having sexual intercouse during pregnancy will affect the safety of the fetus, and thus, are reluctant to engage in sexual activity with their husband. Interventions have been developed to improve the quality of sexual function in pregnant women.

In Vietnam, data of sexual dysfunction in pregnant women are somewhat limited, and there have been no programs to improve the sexual function for this population. Therefore, the study team plans to develop an educational program with aim to improve the quality of sexual function in Vietnamese pregnant women. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of sexual dysfunction in first-trimester pregnant women and evaluate the effectiveness of the educational program.
