Abstract
After documenting parenting couples' needs regarding perinatal sexuality, this study developed and evaluated a brief psycho-educational workshop on perinatal sexuality. Participants (16 future and 17 new parents) completed five steps: (1) online questionnaire (T1) assessing needs toward the workshop and sexoperinatal knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions; (2) 2-hour online workshop on perinatal sexuality; (3) post-workshop satisfaction questionnaire; (4) 1-month (T2) and (5) 2-month (T3) post-workshop questionnaires with the same measures as in T1. One month after the workshop, knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions toward perinatal sexuality increased significantly. Sexoperinatal interventions from health-care workers are still uncommon, although there is a need for information and support. This brief online workshop is promising for better education and empowerment of parenting couples regarding perinatal sexuality. © Copyright 2022 Lamaze International.Entities:
