dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Identifying and characterizing sexual dysfunction is crucial in order to improve the quality of the marital relationship in postmenopausal women. Regarding this, the present study aimed to determine the association of menopausal characteristics with sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 89 postmenopausal women chosen using an improbable randomized sampling method. A questionnaire that collects demographic characteristics, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) index were used to collect relevant data during the survey. Results: The mean age of postmenopausal women recruited to the present study was 54.6 +/- 6.7. The overall mean GRISS score and DAS score were 5.6 +/- 1.7 and 92.1 +/- 11.2 respectively. The mean GRISS scores were found to significantly increase as the ages of the women increased (p = 0.044). Mean DAS scores were lower in postmenopausal women that have menopause duration longer than 10 years (p = 0.035). Higher education level of the spouse is associated with lower GRISS scores (p = 0.024). No correlation was observed between marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Conclusions: Although sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment levels are decreased in the postmenopausal period, these two parameters do not seem to be related to each other. Multidimensional factors must be taken into account when evaluating sexual and marital satisfaction in postmenopausal women.
