“…This also points out the significance of FSD among different populations and cultures and goes to support the validity, consistency and reliability of the FSFI tool and its variants. This was similar to other studies in higher income countries such as among German female medical students (40.0%) by Wallweiner et al 13 and among female students (42.3%) of the University of Texas by Chapa et al 26 Nevertheless, a study carried out among Brazilian students by Satake et al 26 showed that the prevalence of FSD was lower at 28.8%. This could be attributed to the documented lesser risk of FSD in Hispanic women compared to women of other races such as women of African descent.…”

“…Being unmarried but in a relationship was the sole independent factor associated with a lower risk of having FSD. This was also seen in other studies done in other tertiary institutions by Escajadillo-Vargas et al 24 and Satake et al 26 This could be as a result of the increased emotional satisfaction which comes with being in a relationship. 29,30 Furthermore, being in a lower educational level was seen to be related to having a higher risk of FSD compared to those in the higher levels.…”

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common public health issue. Most studies, especially in the sub-Saharan region are typically carried out in the older married female population, but the post-secondary education period is crucial for the development of the sexuality of young women. Poor awareness and management of FSD may lead to adverse physical and psychosocial complications later on in the lives of these women. Aim: To determine the prevalence of the risk of having FSD and the factors associated with having FSD among sexually active students of the University of Buea. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the University of Buea involving 405 sexually active students; 16 years of age and above. Quantitative data on sociodemographic, biological, interpersonal and psychosocial characteristics were collected. A validated Japanese modified version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-J) was used to assess the risk of having female sexual dysfunction. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, binary and multivariate logistic analyses. Main Outcome Measures: Prevalence of risk of having FSD and its associated factors among students of the University of Buea. Results: A total of 171 (42.0%) out of 405 students showed a risk of having at least one form of FSD. The commonest forms of dysfunction were problems of sexual pain (46.9%), orgasm (42.0%), desire (29.1%) and arousal (21.2%). Participants who were unmarried but in a relationship (P = .002) were less likely to experience FSD. Lower levels of education (first year [P = .005], second year [P = .001]), having a history of sexual assault (P = 0.012) and poor health (P = .012) were all independently associated with a higher risk of having FSD. Conclusion:The prevalence of students at risk of having FSD was high with 4 out of every 10 students showing a risk of having at least one form. Lower levels of education, having a history of sexual assault and poor health were independent risk factors of FSD. Being unmarried but in a relationship was the sole protective factor against FSD.

“…Which seems to be not more than SD reported in other women in Iran [ 29 – 31 ]. The women’s SD reported in other countries is approximately similar to our findings: 25.6% of Chinese women [ 32 ] and 28.8% of Brazilian women [ 33 ] except women’s SD reported in Polish women (16. 2%) [ 34 ] that is lower than our findings.…”

Background Ectopic pregnancy (EP) has many adverse effects on the relationship between couples. The present study aims to assess the association between sexual function (SF), quality of marital relationship (QMR) and associated factors in women with a history of EP. Method This cross-sectional study was performed on 220 women with a history of EP in Kerman in 2022. Convenience sampling method was applied. Data were collected using the female sexual function index (FSFI) and the perceived relationship quality components scale (PRQC) questionnaires and were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics (median regression) in Stata software version 17. A P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Of the female participants, 20.4% had sexual dysfunction (SD). Longer duration of marriage (P = 0.045) and increase in the number of EPs (P < 0.001) were associated with a decrease in SF. A quarter of women experienced poor QMR. Increase in spouse age (P = 0.047), longer duration of marriage (P = 0.028), and increase in the number of EPs (P < 0.001) were associated with a decrease in QMR. There was a significant direct relationship between SF and the QMR (r = 0.857; P < 0.001). Conclusion The present study showed a significant relationship between SF and the QMR in women with a history of EP. Therefore, SF and the QMR are necessary to be considered in future health promotion programs of these women.

“…Outro fator relacionado à disfunção sexual identificado no estudo foi a ausência de parceiro fixo. Para alguns autores, a presença de um parceiro fixo reduz as chances de disfunção sexual feminina devido à segurança que o relacionamento proporciona à mulher, pois ela tem mais intimidade com seu corpo e de seu parceiro, consegue quebrar tabus morais, e desempenha sua sexualidade de forma satisfatória 34,37,38 .…”

“…Distúrbios de excitação, lubrificação, orgasmo, satisfação e dor são domínios que afetam a sexualidade feminina e provocam a disfunção sexual, dentre os quais se destacam os distúrbios de orgasmo e desejo 30,37,38,47 . Esses distúrbios associam-se à comunicação deficiente com o parceiro, ausência de preliminares e religião.…”

Resumo Objetivo analisar o conceito de disfunção sexual em mulheres com câncer do colo do útero submetidas a tratamento radioterápico. Método estudo de análise de conceito fundamentado no referencial metodológico proposto por Walker e Avant, o qual é composto por oito etapas: seleção do conceito; determinação dos objetivos da análise conceitual; identificação dos possíveis usos do conceito; determinação dos atributos críticos ou essenciais; construção de um caso modelo; construção de casos adicionais; identificação dos antecedentes e consequentes do conceito; e definição das referências empíricas. Resultados a amostra final resultou em 11 artigos, que identificaram 4 atributos críticos, 18 antecedentes e 07 consequentes do conceito, os quais permitiram a construção de uma definição conceitual e elaboração de um caso-modelo, com a finalidade de exemplificar o contexto social no qual o conceito encontra-se inserido. Conclusão e implicações para prática alterações na estrutura corporal, déficit de conhecimento, diminuição da frequência das relações sexuais, dispareunia e indiferença do parceiro são alguns dos principais antecedentes e consequentes da disfunção sexual na população estudada. Entretanto, esses fatores ainda são pouco conhecidos, o que limita a realização de ações de promoção, prevenção e reabilitação sexual, sobretudo no campo da enfermagem.
