Pre-evaluation forms will be applied to women who have agreed to participate in the study to evaluate the inclusion criteria. Women who meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into experimental-control groups using the block randomization method. An appointment will be made for interviews with the women in the experimental group. It is planned that these meetings will be held in the form of online video calls and will last an average of 45 minutes. The final tests will be held 8 weeks after the online meetings are over.

Postpartum Sexual Life Quality Scale
The scale is still under development.
Time frame: 8 week
Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale
The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) is a 6-point Likert-type self-report scale and consists of 5 questions. This form reveals the capacity to reach orgasm, the feeling of satisfaction, vaginal wetness, arousal and sexual drive. Each question is scored from 1 to 6. The total score ranges from 5 to 30. Low scores indicate that the sexual response is satisfactory, strong and easy, while high scores indicate the presence of sexual dysfunction. The total scale score is formed by the sum of the scores of the scale items in the scale. The cut-off point of the scale was determined as 11. A score of 5 or more for each item indicates that there is a sexual dysfunction related to that item.
Time frame: 8 week
VAS satisfaction scale
Women's satisfaction with sexual life will be evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS). It shows that women who score high on the scale, which is scored between 0 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (very satisfied), also have high sexual satisfaction.
