The protocol is reported according to PRISMA-P guidelines. The search will be conducted by independent reviewers during the second week of December 2019 by using electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library), by contacting the authors of the included studies to identify further data, by examining the references of the included studies, and by handsearching conference proceedings and theses/doctoral dissertations. The study quality will be independently evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Random-effect meta-analyses will be computed. If there is insufficient data for a specific outcome, only a systematic review will be performed.
This review may support clinical practice highlighting the importance of the assessment of sexuality in patients with OCD and suggesting the use of therapeutic strategies dedicated to sexuality in this clinical population with the aim of improving patients\' quality of life. Potential limitations will regard the heterogeneity of the studies in terms of the instruments used to assess sexual dysfunction/satisfaction and of the definitions used to conceptualize sexual dysfunction.

该方案是根据PRISMA-P指南报告的。搜索将由独立审查员在2019年12月的第二周通过使用电子数据库(Scopus,PubMed,EMBASE,PsycINFO,CINAHL,和科克伦图书馆),通过联系纳入研究的作者来确定进一步的数据,通过检查纳入研究的参考文献,并通过手工搜索会议记录和论文/博士论文。研究质量将使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华质量评估量表进行独立评估。将计算随机效应荟萃分析。如果特定结果的数据不足,将只进行系统审查。
这篇综述可能支持临床实践,强调强迫症患者性评估的重要性,并建议在该临床人群中使用专门针对性的治疗策略,以改善患者的生活质量。潜在的局限性将在于用于评估性功能障碍/满意度的工具以及用于概念化性功能障碍的定义方面的研究的异质性。
