A Brief Online Mindfulness Intervention for Women’s Sexual Desire: The BROWSE Study

With growing interest in adapting psychological interventions for digital health delivery, this pilot study aimed to determine feasibility and preliminary data of an online mindfulness intervention in comparison to an online psychoeducational intervention addressing women’s sexual desire. A total of 57 women completed measures of sexual functioning, empathy, stress, and mindfulness before and after the four-week intervention. Results showed improvements on sexual desire, functioning, arousal, self-image, sexual distress, perceived stress, and marginal improvements on orgasm scores. Majority completed assigned homework. These findings provide preliminary support for the feasibility of an online mindfulness intervention that could establish future comprehensive programs.

随着学界对将心理干预适配至数字健康服务领域的关注度日益提升，本试点研究旨在对比针对女性性欲问题的线上正念干预（mindfulness intervention）方案与线上心理教育干预（psychoeducational intervention）方案的可行性，并获取相关初步研究数据。共计57名女性在为期四周的干预前后，完成了性功能、共情能力、感知压力水平及正念状态相关测评量表的填写。研究结果显示，受试者在性欲、性功能、性唤起、自我意象、性困扰及感知压力等维度均出现显著改善，在性高潮得分上也取得小幅提升。大部分受试者均完成了指定的课后作业。本研究结果为线上正念干预方案的可行性提供了初步支撑，可为后续开发综合性相关项目奠定基础。
