This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the genital self-image of primiparae and their sexual quality of life in the postpartum period in heterosexual couples. In this cross-sectional and correlational study, the data were collected through face-to-face interviews in the eastern part of Turkey. The results demonstrated that the relationship between the genital self-image and sexual quality of life of the participants who were sexually active after birth was moderate ( = 0.52, <.001). Both the genital self-image and sexual quality of life of the participating women were affected by the romantic relationship between them and their partners after birth ( <.01). Healthcare professionals should encourage and support couples to look over their relationship and problems they experience in their romantic relationship after birth.
本研究旨在调查初产妇生殖器自我形象与其产后异性恋伴侣性生活质量之间的关系。在这项横断面相关性研究中,数据通过在土耳其东部进行的面对面访谈收集。结果表明,产后有性生活的参与者的生殖器自我形象与性生活质量之间的关系为中等程度(r = 0.52,p <.001)。参与研究的女性的生殖器自我形象和性生活质量均受到产后她们与伴侣之间浪漫关系的影响(p <.01)。医疗保健专业人员应鼓励并支持夫妻审视他们产后的关系以及他们在浪漫关系中遇到的问题。
