The relationship between sexual health literacy and sexual function of women with diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.
Background: Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a complication of poorly managed diabetes mellitus (DM). To prevent SD, patients should develop sexual health literacy (SHL).
Objective: This study investigated the relationship between SHL and SD in women with DM.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between 1 October 2023 and 1 June 2024. The sample comprised 400 participants. The inclusion criteria were (1) being 18-65 years of age, (2) having been diagnosed with DM, and (3) having a sex partner. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Sexual Health Literacy Scale (SHLS).
Outcomes: The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman correlation coefficients, and binary logistic regression.
Results: Over half of the participants experienced SD (68,2%). Participants with higher education, those whose partners had higher education, those who did not have any chronic disease other than DM, and those who did not take hormone replacement therapy had a lower rate of SD (P < 0.05). Participants with higher income, those who used family planning, those with DM I, and non-menopausal participants had lower SD and higher SHL (P < 0.05). Insulin-only participants had higher SD and lower SHL than those who were on other types of medications (P < 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between scale scores (FSFI and SHLS) and age (r = -0.388; P < 0.001 r = -0.326; P < 0.001, respectively), age of partner (r = -0.383; P < 0.001, r = -0.274; P < 0.001, respectively), duration of romantic relationship (r = -0.326; P < 0.001, r = -0.328; P < 0.001, respectively), number of children (r = -0.109; P < 0.001, r = -0.290; P < 0.001, respectively), and duration of DM (r = -0.254; P < 0.001, r = -0.125; P < 0.013, respectively). There was a significant positive correlation between scale scores (FSFI and SHLS) and number of sexual intercourse (r = 0,493; P < 0.001, r = 0.127; P < 0.011, respectively). A one-unit increase in DM duration resulted in a 3.7% increase in SD rate (OR = 1.037). A one-unit increase in the number of sexual intercourses reduced the SD rate by 35.5% (OR = 0.645).
Clinical implication: The data show that the prevalence of SD in diabetic women is directly affected by the number of sexual intercourses per week, menopausal status, and duration of DM.
Strengths and limitations: This is the first study to examine the relationship between SHL and SD in women with DM. Second, the results are sample-specific and cannot be generalized to all women with DM.
Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should ensure that women with DM have high levels of SHL to prevent SD and improve their quality of sexual life.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sexual Medicine publishes multidisciplinary basic science and clinical research to define and understand the scientific basis of male, female, and couples sexual function and dysfunction. As an official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Society for the Study of Women''s Sexual Health, it provides healthcare professionals in sexual medicine with essential educational content and promotes the exchange of scientific information generated from experimental and clinical research.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine includes basic science and clinical research studies in the psychologic and biologic aspects of male, female, and couples sexual function and dysfunction, and highlights new observations and research, results with innovative treatments and all other topics relevant to clinical sexual medicine.
The objective of The Journal of Sexual Medicine is to serve as an interdisciplinary forum to integrate the exchange among disciplines concerned with the whole field of human sexuality. The journal accomplishes this objective by publishing original articles, as well as other scientific and educational documents that support the mission of the International Society for Sexual Medicine.
