The goal of this research was to study the impact of the sexual cognitive reconstruction education on the sexual satisfaction and sexual self-esteem in women with sexual problems. The research method was quasi-experimental done with pre-test post-test multi-group design. The population included all the women in the age range of 25 to 40 with sexual problems who had referred to the Psychotherapy Centers for Sexual Disorders in Ardabil City in 2022. The sample contained 30 people who were selected by convenience sampling and placed into two groups of sexual cognitive reconstruction (15 people) randomly and control group (15 people) in simple random way. Data collection was done using the questionnaire of female sexual function index (Rosen & et al.., 2000), the questionnaire of sexual satisfaction (Hudson & et al.., 1981) and female sexual self-esteem index (Zeanah & Schwarz, 1996). The cognitive reconstruction education was presented to the experimental group in eight sessions lasting 75 minutes. Data analysis was done by the multivariate analysis of covariance following SPSS20 software. The results indicated that sexual cognitive reconstruction education effects on incensement of the sexual satisfaction (P<0.001, F=708.50) and sexual self-esteem (P<0.001, F=139.45) in experimental group. Therefore, it can be said that the sexual cognitive reconstruction education can increase the amount of sexual satisfaction and sexual self-esteem in women with sexual problems.
