Background: Sexual satisfaction is important for maintaining pregnant women’s self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, and serves as a major indicator of health. Affecting a woman's sexual issues will indirectly affect her quality of life. The present study aimed to examine the factors related to sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes in the third trimester. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted in 2019 on 120 women with gestational diabetes visiting the clinics affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Multistage random cluster sampling was performed, and the sample was selected in a non-probability and convenience manner. The data collection instruments included a demographic and midwifery-related information questionnaire, Hudson’s Index of Sexual Satisfaction, the Female Sexual Function Index, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (short version), the Female Sexual Distress Scale, The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire, the Parental Distress Questionnaire, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Data were analyzed in SPSS 23 by using descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Results showed that about 50% of women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. In women with gestational diabetes, sexual satisfaction was positively correlated with sexual function (β = 0.215, p = 0.02) and marital satisfaction (β = 0.298, p = 0.003), and negatively correlated with depression (β = -0.269, p = 0.05). Conclusion: Half of the women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. Marital satisfaction, sexual function, and depression significantly predicted sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes. Examination of sexual function, marital satisfaction, and depression must be part of the routine evaluation for women with gestational diabetes. To increase the sexual satisfaction of these women, it is essential to offer interventions for reducing depression and improving sexual function, marital satisfaction and, thus, their quality of life.

“…A literatura tem mostrado diferentes abordagens de estudo em relação à temática. Ainda podem-se encontrar estudos que limitam a sexualidade a simples funcionalidade da vida sexual, não contemplando aspectos subjetivos, afetivos e emocionais atrelados à composição de toda trajetória sexual do indivíduo (Monteiro et al, 2016).…”

Este estudo apresenta as etapas de construção de um instrumento psicométrico específico para a população lésbica e a descrição de suas evidências de validação. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados no aplicativo online Google Forms, do Google Drive, por meio da amostra de 1.231 mulheres lésbicas brasileiras (M = 27,87; DP = 9,10). Para a construção e validação do instrumento foram realizadas cinco etapas: 1) Avaliação qualitativa dos instrumentos pelo grupo focal com experts; 2) Avaliação dos instrumentos pelas informantes-chave; 3) Análise por juízes-pares; 4) Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE); e 5) Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC). Os resultados da AFE e da AFC foram conduzidos no software Mplus versão 7.11. Os resultados descrevem a criação e as evidências de validade da ESCSSLésbicas, escala tipo Likert de 0 a 6, composta por 30 itens, e confiabilidade interna de 0,907. O instrumento mostrou-se adequado para a mensuração dos aspectos relativos à satisfação corporal e sexual de mulheres lésbicas.

Aims: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among the pregnant women studied. It compared the prevalence in each trimester of pregnancy, and identified socio-demographic factors associated with sexual dysfunction in pregnancy. Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria between 1st and 30th of November 2020. Methodology: We included a total of 124 pregnant women. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire incorporating the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). An FSFI score ≤ 26.55 was classified as sexual dysfunction. Results: Some 60.5% of the respondents had sexual dysfunction. The total FSFI score of study participants was 20.62 ± 8.32. The FSFI mean score of women with sexual dysfunction was 15.25±6.34 while it was 28.57±2.42 for those without sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is prevalent among the pregnant population studied. The prevalence increased with advancing gestation. Aside from routine antenatal care, healthcare providers should be aware and equipped to provide the necessary information and care for this sensitive issue.
