Transversal, analytical and quantitative, non- experimental study of female users who attended gynaecological or family planning clinics in CESFAM Morza, Teno. Simple random sampling. In this study, The Graffar Scales, Rosenberg, Smilkstein, partner violence questionnaire and Rosen et al., were used to assess socioeconomic status, self-esteem, family functionality, type of conjugal violence and sexual function. The data was analyzed through Infostat software, 2015 version. A variance analysis (ANOVA) and a nonparametric variance analysis were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, considering a significance level of α=.05.

Results

305 women were studied. A (25.6+7.12) FSDI score was obtained. A 41.6% rate of sexual dysfunction and a 37% rate of desire disorder were observed in the women. Twelve point one percent of the women showed excitation difficulties, 9.5% lubrication problems, 63.3% orgasm disorder, 13.4% problems regarding sexual satisfaction, and 11.4% dyspareunia. The FSDI varied when it was related to self-esteem, couple violence, socioeconomic status and family structure.
