To evaluate, in healthy women in the second trimester of pregnancy, a possible association between sexual function and quality of life, and between sexual function and sexual satisfaction.
This cross-sectional study involved 51 pregnant women managed at a low-risk antenatal care clinic. Sexual function was evaluated through the Sexual Quotient - Female Version (QS-F) questionnaire. Quality of life and sexual satisfaction were evaluated though the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-bref). Inclusion criteria were pregnancy between 15-26 weeks, maternal age 20 or more years, at least five years of schooling, in a relationship with a single partner for the last 6 months, having sexual intercourse with vaginal penetration in the last 15 days. We excluded women with a history of sexual violence, previous or current depression, habitual abortion or obstetric complications in the index pregnancy (premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor or hemorrhage). The χ² and Fisher exact tests were used for statistical analyses and p<0.05 was considered significant.
Most of the participants (64.8%) obtained "regular to excellent" grades on the QS-F and 58.8% classified their quality of life as "good". As to sexual satisfaction, 35.3 and 15.7% declared that they were "satisfied" and "very satisfied" with their sexual life, respectively. The study detected significant associations between "bad to poor" QS-F grades with a "poor" quality of life (p=0.002), and with "regular to good" and "good to excellent" QS-F grades with "satisfaction" or "high" sexual satisfaction" (p<0.001).
Sexual function is associated with quality of life and with sexual satisfaction in healthy women in the second trimester of pregnancy.
评估妊娠中期健康女性性功能与生活质量之间、性功能与性满意度之间可能存在的关联。
这项横断面研究纳入了51名在低风险产前保健诊所接受管理的孕妇。通过性商-女性版（QS-F）问卷评估性功能。通过世界卫生组织生活质量问卷简版（WHOQOL-bref）评估生活质量和性满意度。纳入标准为妊娠15 - 26周、产妇年龄20岁及以上、至少接受过五年教育、在过去6个月与单一伴侣保持关系、在过去15天有过阴道插入性交。我们排除了有性暴力史、既往或当前患有抑郁症、习惯性流产或本次妊娠有产科并发症（胎膜早破、早产或出血）的女性。采用χ²检验和Fisher精确检验进行统计分析，p<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
大多数参与者（64.8%）在QS-F上获得“中等至优秀”等级，58.8%将其生活质量评为“良好”。关于性满意度，分别有35.3%和15.7%的人表示对其性生活“满意”和“非常满意”。研究发现，QS-F等级为“差至中等”与“差”的生活质量之间存在显著关联（p = 0.002），QS-F等级为“中等至良好”和“良好至优秀”与“满意”或“高度”性满意度之间存在显著关联（p<0.001）。
妊娠中期健康女性的性功能与生活质量以及性满意度相关。
