<p>Women with gynaecological problems are at high risk of having sexual dysfunction because the problems could affect the marital relationship and sexual satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between sexual dysfunction and marital relationships in women with gynaecological problems. This study was conducted using a cross-sectional study. The samples were women with gynaecological problems, aged above 18 years old, married, and able to communicate well. Patients with mental disorders were excluded from this study. Convenience sampling was used to select participants. The marital relationship was measured using a validated instrument, namely, Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). A total of 82 women with gynaecological problems joined our study. The majority of the respondents experienced sexual dysfunction (90.2%) and more than half of the respondents (52.4%) experienced distress in marital relationships.  There was a relationship between sexual dysfunction and marital relationship among women with gynaecological problems (<em>p</em> value &lt; 0.005) and the coefficient correlation was 0.326. Sexual dysfunction may affect marital relationships in women with gynaecological problems. Healthcare professionals need to provide appropriate intervention to women with gynaecological problems as well as facilitate them to express their sexual activity.</p>

Introduction: Sexual relationships change due to the physical and psychological changes occurring during pregnancy. Physical, emotional and economic anxieties in pregnancy often affect the couple’s marital relationship and their sexual responses to each other and can thus adversely affect their overall relationship and the family’s mental health. The present comparative study was conducted to examine the relationship between the wealth index and pregnancy-related anxiety in each trimester of pregnancy and their effect on sexual dysfunction. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 450 pregnant Iranian women in 2016. Data were collected using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire, the Wealth Index and a demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS-23. Results: As gestational age increased, sexual dysfunction increased too. The highest degree of sexual dysfunction was reported in the first and third trimesters. Sexual arousal disorders were reported in all the trimesters and dyspareunia was reported in the second trimester. The greatest pregnancy concerns were reported in the third trimester. As the age of the subjects and their spouse increased, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction also increased and the level of pregnancy-related concerns decreased. A higher wealth index was associated with a reduced pregnancy-related anxiety. Sexual dysfunction was less observed in those with higher levels of education (P<0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The wealth index can affect sexual performance through the mediating effects of pregnancy-related anxiety. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(2) 2021 p.401-408

However, no significant correlation was observed among self-esteem and orgasm (p=0.54), sexual satisfaction (p=0.3), and pain during intercourse (p=0.1). Investigation of the relationship between demographic indicators and self-esteem showed that the spouse's education level had a significant statistical relationship (p = 0.008) with self-esteem, while there was no significant relationship between self-esteem and women's education level, husband's job, income, Body Mass Index (BMI), and age of women.

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between prolactin levels and sexual dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia who use olanzapine medication. The potential risk factors of hyperprolactinemia and sexual dysfunction were also investigated. Patients with schizophrenia undergoing olanzapine monotherapy were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale were used to evaluate subjective sexual dysfunction and psychopathology, respectively. Levels of prolactin and metabolic parameters were also measured. In total, 279 participants with schizophrenia were recruited. The overall incidences of hyperprolactinemia, sexual dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome were 51.6, 53.8, and 43.7%, respectively. Higher ASEX scores, higher insulin levels, female sex, and younger age were associated with hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin level was significantly correlated with ASEX score. Elevated prolactin levels, concomitant antidepressant, increased insulin resistance, longer illness duration, and female sex were associated with sexual dysfunction. Female participants recorded higher levels of sexual dysfunction than their male counterparts did, whereas male participants had comparatively lower prolactin levels and lower rates of spousal partnership. Hyperprolactinemia, metabolic syndrome, and sexual dysfunction are prevalent in patients with schizophrenia treated with olanzapine. Clinicians should maintain awareness of these problems and monitor them regularly with their patients.

The Relationship

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) occurs with high frequency among clinical and nonclinical youth populations. Although depression has been consistently linked with the behavior, not all depressed individuals engage in DSH. Aims: The current study examined maladaptive coping strategies (i.e., self-blame, distancing, and self-isolation) as mediators between depression and DSH among undergraduate students. Methods: 202 students from undergraduate psychology courses at a private university in Southern California (77.7% women) completed anonymous self-report measures. Results: A hierarchical regression model found no differences in DSH history across demographic variables. Among coping variables, self-isolation alone was significantly related to DSH. A full meditational model was supported: Depressive symptoms were significantly related to DSH, but adding self-isolation to the model rendered the relationship nonsignificant. Limitations: The cross-sectional study design prevents determination of whether a casual relation exists between self-isolation and DSH, and obscures the direction of that relationship. Conclusions: Results suggest targeting self-isolation as a means of DSH prevention and intervention among nonclinical, youth populations.
