Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a prevalent concern affecting women's quality of life.
  • Understanding FSD prevalence and influencing factors in specific occupational groups, like nurses, is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of FSD among married female nurses in Suzhou, China.
  • To identify sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related factors associated with FSD in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 2,030 married female nurses from March 2013 to May 2014.
  • Data were collected on sociodemographics, lifestyle, and self-reported health.
  • The Chinese version of the 19-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used to assess sexual function.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of FSD was 50.99% (1,035 out of 2,030 participants).
  • Risk factors for FSD included increasing age, higher body mass index (BMI), lower salary, and poor self-reported health status.
  • Regular social activity and physical exercise were identified as protective factors against FSD.

Conclusions:

  • FSD is highly prevalent among Chinese nurses, indicating a significant public health issue.
  • Interventions addressing age, BMI, socioeconomic status, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices like social engagement and exercise may help mitigate FSD in this group.
  • Further research is recommended to explore detailed sexual health interventions for nurses.
