Abstract

The term sexual intercourse as a psychosocial sensation has been defined in relation to the individual's interpretation of how to express the existence of his/her feelings in marital relationships, and his/her feelings and thoughts about sexual attraction, sexual interest, and participation in sex and sexual performance self includes the quality of sexual life. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sexual assertiveness and sexual quality of life in married women. Materials & Methods: In this correlation study, among married women referring to health centers in Kerman, 500 subjects who were eligible based on the inclusion criteria, in 2017, were selected through available sampling. The research tools included the Hubert Sexual Assertiveness Index, Sexual Quality of Life, and Demographic Information Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS-19 software and using inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, one-way ANOVA, linear regression, and multiple regression and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean score of sexual assertiveness was 47.09 and the mean score of sexual quality of life was 46.46. There was a positive and significant correlation between sexual assertiveness and sexual quality of life (0.487, r = 0.001) . Conclusion: Regarding the relationship between sexual assertiveness and sexual quality of life, it seems that the use of approaches to raise the level of female sexual assertiveness in premarital education classes and communication skills with a spouse should be taught to improve the quality of sexual life.
