Abstract Background: Sexual satisfaction is important for maintaining pregnant women’s self-esteem and interpersonal relationships, and serves as a major indicator of health. Affecting a woman's sexual issues will indirectly affect her quality of life. The present study aimed to examine the factors related to sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes in the third trimester. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted in 2019 on 120 women with gestational diabetes visiting the clinics affiliated with Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Multistage random cluster sampling was performed, and the sample was selected in a non-probability and convenience manner. The data collection instruments included a demographic and midwifery-related information questionnaire, Hudson’s Index of Sexual Satisfaction, the Female Sexual Function Index, ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (short version), the Female Sexual Distress Scale, The World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire, the Parental Distress Questionnaire, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Data were analyzed in SPSS 23 by using descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Results showed that about 50% of women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. In women with gestational diabetes, sexual satisfaction was positively correlated with sexual function (β = 0.215, p = 0.02) and marital satisfaction (β = 0.298, p = 0.003), and negatively correlated with depression (β = -0.269, p = 0.05). Conclusion: Half of the women with gestational diabetes had low and moderate sexual satisfaction. Marital satisfaction, sexual function, and depression significantly predicted sexual satisfaction in women with gestational diabetes. Examination of sexual function, marital satisfaction, and depression must be part of the routine evaluation for women with gestational diabetes. To increase the sexual satisfaction of these women, it is essential to offer interventions for reducing depression and improving sexual function, marital satisfaction and, thus, their quality of life.

123 Background: Sexual dysfunction is a common treatment sequela across numerous cancer diagnoses and treatments, causing increased distress, discomfort and negatively impacting quality of life. Methods: Before their survivorship-focused clinic appointment, adult cancer survivors were asked to complete a comprehensive patient -eported outcomes survey that included detailed questions on their health status including sexual function. Results: Between April 2015 to July 2016, 94 patients completed the survey. They were 66% female, mean age 45 years (SD 16, range 21-82) and 34% leukemia/lymphoma, 18% breast cancer, and 12% genitourinary cancer survivors. Patients were a mean of 6.7 years (SD 7.9, range 0-42) from their cancer diagnosis at the time of clinic appointment. Nearly half (48%) were married or living with a partner and 49% were living alone (single, divorced, widowed). 70.2% reported being sexually active (alone or with a partner) in the last year: of these only half (55.3%) reported being sexually active in the last month. For those who were not sexually active the most commonly cited reasons included lack of interest (24.5%) and not having a partner (30.9%), with 12.8% reporting not being sexually active due to a physical problem. Survivors rated their sexual satisfaction in the past month as a 5.0 (SD 3.7; scale of 0-10, 0=not at all satisfying 10=extremely satisfying). An independent samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in sexual satisfaction between survivors under 45 years in age and ≥45 years in age (t=4.4, df=68.0, p < 0.05). Older survivors (mean=3.71, SD=3.7) reported significantly lower levels of sexual satisfaction than did younger survivors (mean=7.11, SD=2.8). The most commonly reported sexual function issues for women included vaginal dryness (23.4%) and for men included difficulty getting an erection (7.4%). Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is a common long-term effect of cancer across diagnoses and most treatments, warranting widespread implementation of targeted interventions to manage sexual dysfunction and improve quality of life for these survivors.

Abstract Background: Coronavirus has spread rapidly around the world. This epidemic has created stress and anxiety for pregnant women in different parts of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between quality of life (QoL) with anxiety, depression, corona disease anxiety, sexual function (SF), and marital satisfaction (MS) in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic.Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional study involving 260 pregnant women. The Short-Form Health Survey (SF_12), Marital Satisfaction Scale (MSS), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and coronary disease anxiety questionnaire, Padua Obsession Questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) are used for data collection. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis.Result: The overall goodness-of-fit statistics revealed that the predictors of QOL had perfectly good fitness indices (RMSEA=0.02; AGFI=0.99). The results show that corona related anxiety, marital satisfaction (MS), sexual function (SF), depression, and anxiety have a direct effect on women’s QOL. Among variables, GHQ has a more direct effect on women’s QOL. General health (GH) considered as a mediator variable; variables such as anxiety, depression, and Corona-related Anxiety with effect on GH can impress QOL. Anxiety as a main predictor of QOL, with direct, and indirect effects through GH, depression, SF, and MS can impress QOL. Conclusion: Since the QoL in pregnant women is associated with coronavirus epidemics, these results can be used to plan to improve the health and QoL of these people.

Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with changes in sexual function and perhaps many more sexual problems when accompanied by particular disorders such as gestational diabetes. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate factors associated with sexual functions in women with gestational diabetes. Materials and Methods: The present analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 women with gestational diabetes (150) and low-risk pregnant women (150) attending clinics affiliated to Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in the north of Iran in 2019. A multistage cluster random sampling method was used, and samples were selected by convenience sampling method. The study data were collected using a demographic and obstetrics questionnaire, female sexual distress scale-revised, prenatal distress questionnaire, world health organization quality of life questionnaire, depression, anxiety, stress questionnaire, and a female sexual function index. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics indicators, the Chi-square test, t-test, and multivariate linear regression. Results: The frequency of sexual dysfunction was 87.3% in women with gestational diabetes and 34.67% in low-risk pregnant women. Compared to women with low-risk-pregnancy, women with gestational diabetes reported lower sexual function scores (P=0.001). Women with gestational diabetes experience lower quality of life (P<0.05) than low-risk pregnant women. Besides, women with gestational diabetes experience higher levels of stress (P=0.001), more prenatal concerns (P=0.014), and higher sexual distress (P<0.05). The linear regression test showed that gestational diabetes in pregnant women predicts a significant reduction in sexual desire (β=-0.599; P= 0.001). Conclusion: Gestational diabetes predicts a significant reduction in sexual function during pregnancy due to the physical and psychological effects of gestational diabetes. Thus, it is recommended that pregnant women with gestational diabetes should be trained and counseled about gestational diabetes control and sexual function.
