Health professionals' perspectives to support people with vaginismus: Qualitative interview data

Between 2023–2024, semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom videoconferencing software with 23 health professionals across Australia. These health professionals worked in general practice, pelvic floor physiotherapy, uro/gynecology, mental health, nursing and clinical education. Health professionals discussed how they supported and assessed women with vaginismus, and considered diverse patients' experiences. Such diversity included people with vaginismus who came from varied ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, and those who identified as sexually and gender diverse such as varied sexual orientations, queer, trans-gender, non-binary gender, or intersex. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed.

This dataset contains de-identified transcripts of interviews with 23 health professionals describing how they support people with vaginismus
The transcripts of interviews were sent to all participants for member-checking. Transcripts have been de-identified and supplied with pseudonyms.

2023年至2024年期间，研究团队通过Zoom视频会议软件，对澳大利亚境内23名医疗卫生从业者开展半结构化访谈。上述从业者分别就职于全科医疗、盆底物理治疗、泌尿/妇科、精神卫生、护理及临床教育领域。访谈过程中，从业者分享了其为阴道痉挛（vaginismus）患者提供支持与开展评估的实践经验，并探讨了多元背景患者的就诊体验：这类患者既包括来自不同种族、文化与宗教背景的阴道痉挛群体，也涵盖性与性别多元群体，如不同性取向者、酷儿群体、跨性别者、非二元性别者与间性人。所有访谈内容均以音频形式录制并转录为文本。
本数据集包含23名医疗卫生从业者的去标识化访谈转录文本，其中记录了他们为阴道痉挛患者提供支持的具体实践。
访谈转录文本已全部提交给参与访谈的从业者进行成员复核，所有转录文本均完成去标识化处理并配发化名。
