Abstract
Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between genital self-image and sexual quality of life in obese women.
Methods: This is a descriptive and correlational study. A personal information form, the Female Genital Self-Image Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life-Female Questionnaire were used to collect the data.
Results: The mean total Genital Self-Image Scale score of the participants was 20.73±4.53, and their mean total Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire score was 87.22±16.75. A strong positive relationship was determined between genital self-image and sexual quality of life.
Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should evaluate the sexual quality of life of obese women, along with their genital self-image, so that appropriate sexual counseling and holistic care can be provided to them.
