The results showed a significant positive relationship between the mutual constructive communication patterns (MCC) with the SF. Also, there was a negative and inverse relationship between mutual avoidance communication (MAC) pattern and SF (except for the pain component) and also between the demand-withdrawal communication (DWC) pattern and SF in the stimulation and SS components. Also, there was a negative and inverse relationship between the communication models, except for the MCC model, with women’s SS.
