Sexual dysfunction, one of the problems after acute myocardial infarction, is often untreated or unaddressed at discharge. The purpose of this quasi-experimental two-group pre-posttest design was to study the effects of a sexual self-concept promoting program through mobile application on sexual function among males with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention. Participants were selected by purposive sampling and put into an experimental group or a control group, with 22 participants per group. The research instruments included 1) the sexual self-concept promoting program through mobile application for 3 weeks, 2) the international index of erectile function questionnaire, and 3) sexual self-concept questionnaire. The research instruments used for data collection were examined by five experts, with content validity indexes of 1 and .82, and reliability coefficients of .92 and .94. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test.
The results showed that after experimenting with the program, the mean sexual function scores for the experimental group (M = 67.09, SD = 4.03) were significantly higher than those before the experiment (M = 64.05, SD = 4.69) (t = 6.05, p < .05) as well as than those of the control group (M = 41.64, SD = 18.55) with statistical significance (t = 6.29, p < .05).
This study showed that the sexual self-concept promoting program through mobile application for males with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary inter- vention could increase sexual function. Nurses can apply this program to promote sexual function.
