Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that group mindfulness-based therapy, which includes mindfulness meditation, cognitive therapy, and education, significantly improves sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction, and overall sexual functioning in women with low sexual desire.
  • Women who received immediate treatment showed greater improvements compared to those who waited three months, and these benefits persisted through a 6-month follow-up.
  • Increased mindfulness and decreased depressive symptoms were linked to better sexual desire, suggesting that these factors play a key role in improving women's sexual health through this therapy.]
