Summary

This study tested whether sexual counseling using the Ex-PLISSIT model could improve sexual quality of life and satisfaction in women with a permanent stoma (colostomy or ileostomy). Thirty-two married women who had a stoma for at least six months and were not on active cancer treatment participated. The approach involved personalized education and counseling sessions to address sexual concerns.
