Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of motherhood and body perception of pregnant women on sexual dysfunction.
Methods: Data were collected using a demographic data form, the Self-Perception of Pregnants Scale (SPPS) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The study which is cross-sectional was conducted with 280 pregnant women. Percentages, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyzes were used for data analysis.
Findings: Pregnant women with a positive pregnancy-related motherhood and body perception had low sexual dysfunction. There was a moderately significant positive relationship between sexual functions and pregnancy-related motherhood perception (r: 0.430, p < 0.001) and a moderately significant negative relationship between pregnancy-related body perception (r: -0.376, p < 0.001).
Clinical implications: Healthcare professionals should know what is the motherhood and body perception of pregnants while evaluating sexual health.
