However, there was no significant difference between wives and husbands in the SSQ total scores (p = 0.398). Sexual satisfaction and decision-maker in life among wives and husbands were significant predictors of MSQ.

本研究评估接受不孕治疗的夫妇中与婚姻和性满意度相关的复杂因素。
本横断面研究于2015年9月至2016年7月对140对前往伊朗生育中心的夫妇进行。通过婚姻和性满意度问卷收集数据,并使用IBM SPSS 26软件进行分析。
夫妻双方在婚姻满意度问卷总分上存在显著差异(p = 0.027)。然而,夫妻双方在性满意度问卷总分上没有显著差异(p = 0.398)。夫妻双方的性满意度和生活中的决策者是婚姻满意度问卷的重要预测因素。妻子的治疗类型、不孕原因和体重指数以及丈夫的治疗类型、不孕原因和决策者也是性满意度问卷的重要预测因素。
本研究结果表明,妻子和丈夫对婚姻和性满意度的理解存在差异。医疗保健提供者需要更多地关注这些差异。
