Article Abstract
Background: Sexual and marital satisfaction play an important role in the stability of couples' relationships, so it is necessary to take a proper approach to promote them. This study aimed to identify and categorize psychological interventions affecting sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction of women in Iran.
Methods: An electronic systematic review search was conducted using the Persian and English databases of SID, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, Cochran library, and Google Scholar motor engine until 2021 to identify all relevant clinical trials and experimental and quasi-experimental studies assessing the effect of psychological interventions on sexual and marital satisfaction.
Results: Totally, we retrieved 528 studies from the previously mentioned databases, of which, 38 met the eligibility criteria. The subgroup meta-analysis of 4 studies conducted showed that interventions based on individual consultations increase sexual satisfaction (MD: 2.94, 95% CI: -0.36 to 6.24, = .23), ( =30.83%). The subgroup meta-analysis of 10 studies conducted revealed that couple-based consultations increase marital satisfaction (MD: 5.93, 95% CI: -2.59 to 9.27, =.95), ( = 0%).
Conclusion: The results of meta-analysis demonstrated the effect of counseling-based psychological interventions on increasing sexual and marital satisfaction of couples. However, further clinical trials are required before making a definitive conclusion.

Introduction And Objectives: High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with improved oncological outcomes across various cancer types, including prostate cancer.

Goal: Employee well-being surveys are essential tools used by healthcare leaders to assess workforce functioning, such as burnout, team dynamics, and perceptions of support, but surveys frequently have low response rates, which may skew results. Research on nonresponse bias is limited because of the difficulty in sourcing data on outcomes of interest from nonrespondents. This study aimed to examine whether nonrespondents and respondents differed on key outcomes of interest to healthcare leaders to understand whether results of an employee well-being survey were valid.
