The research method was quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. In order to conduct the research, 10 Afghan women with inclusion criteria were selected by available methods and then randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The measuring instrument in this study was the Women's Sexual Cold Inventory (Eshghi, 2006). In the experimental group, 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy were performed individually and during this period, no intervention was performed in the control group. The results of analysis of covariance showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective in improving the overall score of cold temper in women (P = 0.0001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the methodological-behavioral method can be used to reduce women's cold temper and improve marital relationships and ultimately family health. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, a sample of 297 married women (with a mean age of 33.7 years and an age range of 24 to 45 years) was selected by simple random sampling. The Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (Reef, 1995) and Women's Sexual Well-Being Scale (Rosen et al., 2009) were completed by the sample group. The validity of this scale was assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods, convergent and simultaneous validity. The reliability of the scale was evaluated by two methods of Cronbach's alpha and halving. The results of factor analysis using principal component method and varimax rotation showed that this scale consists of 4 factors with the titles of interpersonal relationships, cognitive-emotional domain, physical stimulation and orgasm satisfaction, which is more than 66% of the variance. They explain the whole. The convergent validity of this scale indicated a satisfactory correlation between the dimensions of the female sexual well-being scale and the total score. To determine the simultaneous validity of the scale, the correlation between the dimensions of the female sexual well-being scale and the psychological well-being scale was used, which indicated a favorable correlation (p <0.001). Cronbach's alpha and halving coefficients for the whole scale and its dimensions ranged from 0.63 to 0.82. The final result is that the Persian form of the Women's Sexual Welfare Scale has good validity and reliability in Iranian society and can be used in research, educational and clinical situations.
