Abstract :
Sexual satisfaction is a desired feeling that one experiences during sexual interaction and is affected by several factors. This study was conducted to examine the sexual satisfaction and its correlates among married women. This cross-sectional study comprised 306 married women in their reproductive age, selected by convenience sampling method, and referred to the four health centers affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2012, the participants completed a researcher-made questionnaire. Statistical analysis was carried out using independent samples T-test, Chi-square and logistic regression through SPSS version. 16. The mean score of the sexual satisfaction was 77.97 ± 1.38. Based on the mean, women were divided into two groups: sexually satisfied and dissatisfied. The Two groups matched in terms of age (P = 0.35), age of the husbands (P= 0.26), income status (P = 0.43), number of children (P = 0.44) and contraceptive methods (P = 0.13). Participants' educational level, menstrual status, marital duration, sexual function, husband’s educational status and emotional bound were entered into the logistic regression model. Emotional bound had a significant effect on sexual satisfaction (P = 0.04, OR = 1.54, CI = 1.01 - 2.36). Emotional bound as a considerable trait is associated with women’s sexual satisfaction. It is recommended that health care providers pay more attention to this point at the time of health care delivery and also to emphasize the renovation of interpersonal relationship
