Background: The population of older women is rapidly increasing in every country in the world, including Iran. Given the effect of Sexual Function (SF) and sexual health on older women’s health, the present study was conducted to determine Sexual Dysfunction (SD) and the factors predicting it in Iranian older women in Karaj. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 550 eligible older women selected by stratified cluster sampling from those visiting health centers in Karaj between October 2019 and February 2020. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires including demographic questionnaire, the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). To take account of the effect of sampling design on the analyses, survey command in Stata-14 was used. Results: A total of 94.5% of the participating women had SD, 74.4% reported desire disorder, 79.8% arousal disorder, 57.6% lubrication disorder, 65.3% orgasm disorder, and 72.2% sexual dissatisfaction, and 52.4% had dyspareunia. The participating women’s SF had significant relationships with physical activity, hysterectomy, spouse’s SD, and the intimate and emotional closeness with the spouse (P<0.05). SF had significant inverse relationships with age, duration of marriage and menopause, anxiety, and depression (P<0.001). Nonetheless, SF had no significant relationship with occupation, education, smoking, and type and frequency of childbirth. The results of the linear regression test showed that the duration of menopause (B=-0.04, P=0.023), spouse’s SD (B=-0.95, P<0.001), intimacy (B=13.89, P<0.001), emotional closeness (B=6.49, P<0.001), anxiety (B=-0.08, P=0.033), and depression (B=-0.24, P<0.001) predicted the participating women’s SF significantly. Conclusion: The majority of the participating women had SD. Attention mental health, spousal relationship, and spouse’s sexual health may have significant positive effects on the sexual health of Iranian older women.

“…Moreover, the levels of sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm were lower in women who had undergone hysterectomy (11). Some studies have shown that the individual's psychological state can contribute to the development of SD (8,12). Depression is one of the most common psychological factors affecting the incidence of SD.…”

“…According to Barlow ( 1986 ), sexual dysfunction is related in part to higher negative affect and the presence of failure expectancies. Negative affect can be manifested by depressive symptoms, which are commonly linked to poor sexual function (Barata, 2017 ; Murdoch, Pryor, Polusny, & Gackstetter, 2007 ). According to this theory, individuals who experience sexual dysfunction are most likely to approach sexual activity with depressed mood, apprehension, worry, and tension, which can create a negative feedback loop.…”

Background : Military sexual trauma (MST) that involves assault is associated with poorer sexual function in U. S. women service members/veterans (SM/Vs). Theory of sexual function suggests that the presence of higher depression severity and more negative sexual self-schemas may contribute to sexual dysfunction. This has yet to be examined in partnered women SM/Vs who are survivors of MST. Objective : Using path analysis, the current study examined the associations of MST type, depression, sexual self-schemas, and sexual function in 818 partnered women SM/Vs. Method : Three separate mediation models were tested, all testing indirect effects of depression and sexual self-schemas on the association of MST type and sexual function. In Model 1, the mediation model assumed that exposure to MST predicted more severe depression, which then predicted more negative sexual self-schemas. More negative sexual self-schemas, in turn, predicted poorer sexual function. In Model 2, the mediation model assumed that exposure to MST predicted more negative sexual self-schemas, which then predicted more severe depression. More severe depression, in turn, predicted poorer sexual function. In Model 3, the mediation model assumed a parallel mediation in that exposure to MST predicted more severe depression and more negative sexual self-schemas, which in turn, predicted poorer sexual function. Results : The best fitting model suggested a parallel mediation of higher depression severity (estimate: −1.30, confidence interval: −1.91,-.69) and more negative sexual self-schemas (estimate: −2.09, confidence interval: −2.94,-1.24) on the association of assault MST and poorer sexual function (Model 3). Harassment-only MST was unrelated to sexual function through mediated pathways. Conclusions : Interventions to improve sexual function among MST survivors who experienced assault should address negative sexual self-schemas related to sexual performance and depressive symptoms. Cognitive behavioural interventions that include challenging maladaptive cognitions may be well suited to address this clinical need.
