Summary

This single-case experimental design aims to evaluate the acceptability \& feasibility of an online guided self-help intervention for female survivors of sexual assault who experience difficulties returning to sex.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is the intervention viewed as acceptable by female survivors of sexual assault? Acceptability is defined as as how willing participants are to use the materials and their satisfaction with its content.

The secondary question is, are there initial indicators that the intervention is effective? Effectiveness is measured by a reduction in the measure of sexual distress and improvement of sexual satisfaction - specifically confidence and motivation in practising strategies that will improve their experience of sex.

Participants will complete the intervention independently. There will be 4-sessions which involve watching videos, with one session completed weekly. The developed materials aim to to help women understand their difficulties, learn practical strategies and build confidence in returning to sex. The materials are also guided by a piloted group for sexual distress by Bart's National Health Service (NHS) trust Sexual Wellbeing Service. The NHS is the publicly funded healthcare system in England.
