Research into sexuality following spinal cord injury (SCI) has tended to concentrate on male experiences and the physical capabilities for sexual intercourse. The sexuality of women following SCI has only recently been addressed and studies are limited to small numbers and the use of non-standardised measures. The present investigation utilised standard measures of affective state and body satisfaction together with pre and post-injury questionnaire information of sexual dysfunction, feelings about sex and importance of sexual activity in a group of 85 women with SCI. Sexual dysfunction increased significantly post-injury, whilst feelings about sex and it's importance were unaffected. Sexual dysfunction and the importance of sex were inversely correlated. General and Head satisfaction estimates were not significantly different to control samples, whilst Body Satisfaction was increased for women with disabilities. None of the body satisfaction measures were related to the sexual functioning measure. General dissatisfaction was associated depression. Both anxiety and depression were experienced by the same individuals, and anxiety related to current sexual dysfunction. Qualitative data supported previous findings concerning the effects of social and attitudinal barriers on sexual functioning.
脊髓损伤（SCI）后的性研究往往集中在男性经历和性交的身体能力上。脊髓损伤后女性的性行为直到最近才得到关注，研究数量有限且使用的是未标准化的测量方法。本研究采用了情感状态和身体满意度的标准测量方法，以及一组85名脊髓损伤女性受伤前后关于性功能障碍、对性的感受和性活动重要性的问卷调查信息。受伤后性功能障碍显著增加，而对性的感受及其重要性未受影响。性功能障碍与性的重要性呈负相关。总体满意度和头部满意度估计与对照样本无显著差异，而残疾女性的身体满意度有所提高。没有一项身体满意度测量与性功能测量相关。总体不满与抑郁相关。焦虑和抑郁由同一批人经历，且焦虑与当前的性功能障碍有关。定性数据支持了先前关于社会和态度障碍对性功能影响的研究结果。
