Abstract

In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between women's depression, stress, anxiety, and personal traits with their sexual function levels. We conducted cross-sectional study, among 215 women with sexually active women. We collected the research data by utilizing "Introductory Information Form", "Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS)", "Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)" and "International Personality Inventory Short Form (IPISV)". Among the participants, 63.7% exhibited adequate levels of sexual function, and 87.9% reported satisfaction with their sexual life. We found a weak negative correlation between total FSFI scores and some sub-dimensions of the IPISV, and the DASS. Higher levels of psychological distress and marked by emotional instability, hostility, undirectedness, and closed to experience, were associated with reduced levels of sexual function. It appears that psychological and personality factors may be relevant in understanding variations in sexual function, indicating the potential value of targeted interventions in improving sexual function.

女性抑郁、压力、焦虑和人格特征与性功能水平的关系。
在这项研究中,我们旨在确定女性的抑郁、压力、焦虑和个人特征与性功能水平的关系。我们对215名性活跃的女性进行了横断面研究。本研究采用“介绍信息表”、“抑郁、焦虑、压力量表”(DASS)、“女性性功能指数”(FSFI)和“国际人格量表短表”(IPISV)收集研究数据。在参与者中,63.7%的人性功能正常,87.9%的人对性生活满意。我们发现FSFI总分与IPISV的一些子维度和DASS之间存在微弱的负相关。较高程度的心理困扰,以及以情绪不稳定、敌意、不定向和封闭经验为特征的人,与性功能水平下降有关。这表明心理和人格因素可能与理解性功能变化有关,表明有针对性的干预措施在改善性功能方面的潜在价值。
