A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEXUAL SATISFACTIONS AND THE TYPE OF DELIVERY IN REFERRALS TO CLINICS IN HAMADAN, 2014

The need for sexual fulfillment and satisfaction is an important factor in physical
and mental health, and it adds to the durability of the family. The aim of this study was to investigate
the relationship between sexual satisfactions with the type of delivery in patients who were referred to
clinics in Hamadan, in 2014.
Material & Methods: This study is a descriptive- analytical study which was carried out on 200 women
(101 section vaginal delivery, 99 cesarean delivery) referring to the clinics affiliated to the Hamedan
University of Medical Sciences in 2014. Research tools included demographic checklist and a standard
questionnaire (Lyndabrg) to measure sexual satisfaction. Data analysis was performed using spss 17
software.
Results: The average age of the samples was 28.03±6.13. Sexual satisfaction score in the NVD, and
cesarean delivery group were 67.16±12.54 and 66.52±10.72, respectively. The highest sexual
satisfaction score was seen in women who had normal delivery, but it was not significant. With an
adjustment for variables (age, parity, education, women, satisfaction of pregnancy, lactation type),
sexual satisfaction was not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: The investigation illustrated that there was no significant correlation between sexual
satisfaction and the type of delivery. A significant correlation was seen between sexual satisfactions and
having a plan for pregnancy. It can reflect an important role for sexual psychologists
