Psychotherapy, Sex Education, Sexuality, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Preventive Health ServicesAbstract
Introduction: The relevance of the researched topic is driven by the fact that in the modern world, sexuality has ceased to be a taboo concept, making the prevention, particularly psychological prevention, of various disorders increasingly important.
Objective: Analyse and assess the effectiveness of modern methods of psycho-prophylaxis of sexual disorders worldwide.
Methods: This review article employed methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction, deduction, and generalization for the systematic study, processing, and summarization of data, along with a systematic search of literature sources in databases.
Results: The results of this study reveal that people have limited access to medical services for treating sexual dysfunctions, and educational programs on psychosocial hygiene are absent for a large percentage of the population. The percentage of misconceptions about sexual rights (including sexual health) and preventive measures remains critically low. Additionally, notable aspects of the results include analysing factors affecting sexual health, assessing psycho-prophylactic strategies, examining sexual education needs, formulating recommendations for improvement, and developing strategies like counselling centres and psychotherapeutic sessions.
Conclusions: This study has practical significance for professionals in the fields of medicine, psychology, psychotherapy, sociology, as well as for gender researchers and scientists dealing with issues of sexuality, sexual education, and upbringing
