Abstract
Background and Objective: Sexual health is one of the main aspects of health that affect spouses at all stages of life. The present study was conducted to determine the role of spiritual well-being and circadian types in predicting sexual health of married women.
Methods: The study was based on a descriptive correlational method. Statistical population of the study consisted of all married women in Ardabil, Iran in 2020. 110 women were selected as the statistical sample using the purposive sampling method. For data collection, the spiritual well-being (developed by Daaleman, Frey), circadian types (developed by Horne, Ostberg) and sexual health (developed by Manavi Pour) questionnaires were used. Research data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. In the present study, all the ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.
Results: The results showed a significant relationship between spiritual well-being (0.72) and circadian types (0.65) and sexual health in married women (P<0.05). Also, the results of multiple regression showed that spiritual well-being and circadian types can predict the sexual health of married women by 0.60 (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Married women's sexual health is predictable with spiritual well-being and circadian types. It is suggested that psychologists and health professionals pay more attention to the role of these variables in improving the sexual health of married women.
