Abstract:
This study sets out to determine predictors of marital and sexual satisfaction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their spouses. Fifty-nine patients and their spouses completed questionnaires independent from each other. Multiple correlations with marital and sexual satisfaction were computed for demographic variables, disease status, psychological distress, and social support. The results indicate that psychological distress and social support are more important than objectively assessed disease status in determining marital and sexual satisfaction in patients with RA.
