This study will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of interpersonal relationships-based online psychoeducation developed for women with sexual interest and arousal disorders.
Female sexual interest and arousal disorders are common among sexual dysfunctions. In addition to the physical and mental health of women with sexual interest and arousal disorder, interpersonal relationships are also negatively affected. Based on this relationship, it is predicted that interpersonal relationship-based psychoeducation will be effective in the treatment of sexual interest and arousal disorder. Interpersonal Relationship Psychotherapy or counseling is a short-term, easy, accessible approach that focuses specifically on interpersonal problems and is based on attachment theory, aiming to reduce depressive symptoms and improve interpersonal functioning. The number of internet users and the possibilities of access to the internet are increasing significantly all over the world, and online health services via the internet are becoming widespread.

In this context, this study will be conducted to increase the sexual interest and arousal levels of women with sexual interest and arousal disorders through online psychoeducation.
