چکیده

background: infertility is a factor which has been linked to higher prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in women; however, ambiguous results have been reported about the impact of infertility on women’s sexual satisfaction. the purpose of this study was to compare sexual and dyadic functioning in infertile and fertile women. furthermore, the associations between sexual variables and clinical variables (depressive symptoms, period trying to conceive, and treatment period) were assessed in infertile women sample. materials and methods: the cross-sectional study involved 50 women with the history of infertility and 50 fertile women recruited from the general population. the sexual satisfaction scale (sss), mell-krat scale (women’s version), family assessment measure (fam-iii), and beck depression inventory (bdi) were administered to all participants. results: infertile women reported lower sexual satisfaction and more maladaptive patterns of dyadic functioning in comparison to the control group. as many as 45 (90%) of infertile women, compared to 13 (26%) of the control group, reported the scores on the mell-krat scale indicative of the presence of dysfunctions in sexual reactivity (p≤0.001). infertile women reported significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms than the women from the control group (p≤0.001). negative correlations were observed between sexual satisfaction and dyadic functioning in both groups (p≤0.05); however, the patterns of these associations were different in infertile and fertile women. for example, negative correlations were found between satisfaction with control and task accomplishment, role performance, affective involvement, and values and norms in infertile women. however, these relationships were not observed in the control group. no correlations were revealed between sexual reactivity and dyadic functioning in infertile women and the control group. negative correlations were observed between satisfaction with control and relationship duration and treatment period as well as between sexual reactivity and period of trying to conceive. multiple regression analyses also revealed different predictors of sexual satisfaction in both groups: affective involvement (p≤0.05) and relationship duration (p≤0.05) in infertile women, whereas communication (p≤0.05), affective expression (p≤0.05) and depressive symptoms (p≤0.05) in the control group. conclusion: infertility is an important factor affecting sexual and dyadic functioning and is linked to higher depressive symptoms in infertile women.
