Abstract(s)
A menopausa é uma fase essencial no percurso de vida da mulher, uma vez que acarreta
consigo alterações ao nível físico, emocional, relacional e sexual. Este estudo tem como
objectivos avaliar as diferenças nas variáveis em estudo (satisfação sexual, satisfação
conjugal, bem-estar psicológico e imagem corporal) entre mulheres nos diferentes estados da
menopausa; a relação entre as variáveis (satisfação conjugal, bem-estar psicológico, imagem
corporal, idade, duração do relacionamento conjugal e TRH) e a satisfação sexual e, os
preditores da satisfação sexual. A amostra por conveniência é de 181 mulheres que se
encontram nos diferentes estados da menopausa, em que os instrumentos a aplicados foram:
Questionário Sociodemográfico e Clínico, Escala de Avaliação da Satisfação em Áreas da
Vida Conjugal (EASAVIC), Escala de Bem-Estar Psicológico (EBEP), Global Measure of
Sexual Satisfaction (GMSEX) e Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Os resultados obtidos
neste estudo revelam que se verificam diferenças significativas entre mulheres nos diferentes
estados da menopausa ao nível da satisfação sexual, satisfação conjugal, bem-estar
psicológico e imagem corporal. Verificou-se que mulheres que se encontram na prémenopausa
e peri-menopausa revelam maior satisfação sexual, satisfação conjugal e melhor
bem-estar psicológico do que as mulheres que se encontram na pós-menopausa.
Contrariamente, as mulheres que se encontram na pós-menopausa revelam uma melhor
imagem corporal. Verificou-se também que a satisfação conjugal, bem-estar psicológico e
imagem corporal estão positivamente associadas à satisfação sexual, comparativamente à
idade e duração do relacionamento conjugal. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que a idade, a
satisfação conjugal e a TRH predizem uma maior satisfação sexual, com o modelo a explicar
60.1% da variância da satisfação sexual na mulher na menopausa.
Menopause is an essential phase in the life course of a woman, since it causes physical, emotional, relational and sexual changes. This study aims to evaluate the differences in the variables under study (sexual satisfaction, marital satisfaction, psychological well-being and body image) among women in different states of menopause; the relationship between the variables (marital satisfaction, psychological well-being, body image, age, duration of the conjugal relationship and HRT) and sexual satisfaction and predictors of sexual satisfaction. The sample for convenience is of 181 women who are in different states of menopause, in which the instruments applied were: Sociodemographic and Clinical Questionnaire, Satisfaction Scale in Areas of Conjugal Life (EASAVIC), Psychological Well-Being Scale (EBEP), Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction (GMSEX) and Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The results obtained in this study reveal that there are significant differences between women in different states of menopause in terms of sexual satisfaction, marital satisfaction, psychological well-being and body image. It has been found that premenopausal and perimenopausal women show greater sexual satisfaction, marital satisfaction, and better psychological well-being than postmenopausal women. Conversely, postmenopausal women show a better body image. It was also verified that marital satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and body image are positively associated with sexual satisfaction, compared to the age and duration of the marital relationship. In addition, it was verified that age, marital satisfaction and HRT predict a higher sexual satisfaction, with the model explaining 60.1% of the variance of sexual satisfaction in the woman during menopause.
