Background: Hepatitis C infection affects women's quality of life, requiring newtreatments like direct-acting antiviral drugs. Promoting sexual health is an importantfunction of nurses. Aim: To assess effect of artificial intelligence using mobile-basednursing education on sexual health among women receiving medications for hepatitis C.Design: A quasi-experimental design was used to conduct the research.

Sample: 150women with a history of hepatitis C virus infection were chosen as a purposive sample.Tools: The general characteristic of the women under study and their level of sexual healthknowledge were two of the instruments utilized to gather data. The female sexual functionindex is associated with Tool II. Results: The study group demonstrated a significantimprovement in all dimensions of the female sexual function index and sexual healthawareness (p≤0.001). Conversely, there were no discernible changes in the control group'sknowledge of sexual health or female sexual function index scores (p>0.05). Conclusion:After undergoing HCV medication in conjunction with artificial intelligence throughmobile-based education, the women in the study group showed a notable improvement inevery FSFI domain and their overall knowledge of sexual health and strategies forimproving it when compared to those in the control group.
