Objective:
To investigate sexual satisfaction (SS) and the factors associated with decreased SS among individuals with hearing disability.
Methods:
We conducted an investigation on SS among 439 individuals (268 males and 171 females, aged ≥18 yr) with hearing disability using a general information questionnaire, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, and a self-report on SS. We identified the factors of decreased SS by multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis.
Results:
Totally 76 (17.3%) of the hearing-disability individuals investigated were dissatisfied with their sexual life. SS reduction was significantly correlated with the status of being single (OR=1.72), grade-1 or -2 disability (OR=1.78), physical diseases (OR=2.46), depression (OR=6.61), or inadequate subjective social support (OR=3.28).
Conclusions:
SS of hearing-disability persons is relatively low, which can be improved by treating physical diseases, promoting mental health, and providing psycho-social support.
