Pregnancy is a process during which anatomical, physiological, and emotional changes occur. During this process, the sex lives of couples can be affected. Possible depressive symptoms and female sexual dysfunction can affect the relationship between partners, pregnancy-delivery process, and as a result, the newborn. The objective in the present study was to evaluate the relationship of female sexuality during pregnancy with sociodemographic parameters and depressive symptoms.
150 pregnant women during the second trimester of their pregnancy and age-matched 150 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Sociodemographic data were recorded. "Female Sexual Function Index" (FSFI) was used to evaluate sexual functions and "Beck Depression Inventory" (BDI) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms. The data were analysed using SPSS 23 statistical software. The results were interpreted with "Independent Samples t Test", Spearman's Rho correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney U analysis and Chi-square test, and a p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
It was detected that FSFI score of the pregnant group was lower compared to that of the non-pregnant group (16.953 ± 8.24; p = 0.000). There was no difference between the groups in terms of BDI scores (p = 0.100). There was no relationship between the FSFI score and the BDI score in the pregnant group (r = - 0.087; p = 0.144).
It was found that female sexual dysfunction occurs in pregnant women, depressive symptoms remained unchanged when compared to non-pregnant women and sexual functions remain unaffected.
妊娠是一个发生解剖、生理和情感变化的过程。在此过程中，夫妻的性生活可能会受到影响。可能出现的抑郁症状和女性性功能障碍会影响伴侣之间的关系、妊娠分娩过程，并因此影响新生儿。本研究的目的是评估女性在妊娠期间的性与社会人口学参数和抑郁症状的关系。
将 150 名妊娠中期的孕妇和年龄匹配的 150 名健康志愿者纳入研究。记录社会人口学数据。使用“女性性功能指数”（FSFI）评估性功能，使用“贝克抑郁量表”（BDI）评估抑郁症状。使用 SPSS 23 统计软件分析数据。结果采用“独立样本 t 检验”、斯皮尔曼 rho 相关系数、曼-惠特尼 U 分析和卡方检验进行解释，p 值<0.05 为统计学显著。
与非妊娠组相比，妊娠组的 FSFI 评分较低（16.953±8.24；p=0.000）。两组的 BDI 评分无差异（p=0.100）。妊娠组的 FSFI 评分与 BDI 评分之间无相关性（r=-0.087；p=0.144）。
研究发现，孕妇存在女性性功能障碍，与非孕妇相比抑郁症状保持不变，性功能不受影响。
