Abstract(s)
A menopausa é um processo do desenvolvimento importante e normal na vida de uma
mulher e percebida como um momento de mudança na saúde emocional e física. O
presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre imagem corporal, depressão
e satisfação conjugal e o impacto destas variáveis na satisfação sexual. Trata-se de um
estudo transversal, descritivo, correlacional e analítico com um único momento de
recolha, constituído por 61 participantes do sexo feminino, entre as quais mulheres na
pré-menopausa e na pós-menopausa. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o questionário
sociodemográfico, o Body Shape Questionnaire, a Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e
Stress, a Escala de Avaliação da Satisfação em Áreas da Vida Conjugal, e ainda a Escala
da Satisfação Sexual Reduzida. Os resultados revelam que a satisfação sexual é mais
elevada em mulheres que não estão na menopausa. Foram encontradas correlações
negativas estatisticamente significativas entre a satisfação sexual e preocupação com a
imagem corporal, a ansiedade, a depressão e o stresse, ou seja, níveis mais elevados destas
variáveis implicam uma menor satisfação sexual. Foram encontradas correlações
positivas significativas entre a satisfação sexual e a satisfação conjugal, ou seja, uma
satisfação conjugal em todas as dimensões, está associada a uma maior satisfação sexual.
Foram preditores positivos da satisfação sexual duas subescalas da satisfação conjugal
(rede social/ relações extrafamiliares e a sexualidade) e, a preocupação com a imagem
corporal, a depressão foram preditores de menor satisfação sexual. Com os resultados do
presente estudo pretende-se auxiliar na elaboração de futuros programas de prevenção e
promoção da satisfação sexual de mulheres na menopausa.
Menopause is an important and normal development process in a woman's life and perceived as a time of change in emotional and physical health. The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between body image, depression and marital satisfaction and the impact of these variables on sexual satisfaction. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational and analytical study with a single moment of collection, consisting of 61 female participants, including premenopausal and postmenopausal women. The instruments used were the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Body Shape Questionnaire, the Anxiety Scale, Depression and Stress, the Scale of Satisfaction Assessment in Areas of Conjugal Life, and also the Reduced Sexual Satisfaction Scale. The results reveal that sexual satisfaction is higher in women who are not menopausal. Statistically significant negative correlations were found between sexual satisfaction and concern with body image, anxiety, depression and stress, i.e., higher levels of these variables imply lower sexual satisfaction. Significant positive correlations were found between sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction, i.e., marital satisfaction in all dimensions, is associated with greater sexual satisfaction. Two subscales of marital satisfaction (social network/extrafamily relationships and sexuality) were positive predictors of sexual satisfaction and, the concern with body image, depression were predictors of lower sexual satisfaction. With the results of the present study, we intend to assist in the development of future programs to prevent and promote sexual satisfaction of menopausal women.
