| Abstract | ||
| Objective: To assess and compare the sexual satisfaction between intra uterine contraceptive device users and non-users. Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Primary Health Care Unit Affiliated to Dekernis Health Administration, Mansoura, Egypt. The target populations were the Intra uterine devise users and non-users (as comparison group) with 180 subjects in each group. The Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women (SSS-W) was utilized to assess female sexual satisfaction. SSS-W consists of 30-item grouped into 5 domains: communication, compatibility, contentment, relational concern, and personal concern. Each domain consists of six items which were formatted in a conventional questionnaire of a 5- point Likert scale and a total score ranged from 30- 150. Results: The IUD adversely affects SSS-W as the overall score among IUD users was significantly lower than non-users (total score = 76.44±11.04 in IUD users vs. 95.44±8.62 in IUD non-users, p-value < 0.01) this pattern persist in different domains of SSS-W. By linear regression analysis the IUD use is an independent predictor of all over satisfaction scale and its different domains. Conclusion: sexual satisfaction concerns should be included as an additional and important item in women’s choice of suitable contraceptive method beside routine items like efficacy and safety of method. | ||
