The Relationship Between Couple Burnout, Sexual Assertiveness, and Sexual Dysfunctional Beliefs in Women With Diabetic Husbands and Comparing Them With Women With Non Diabetic Husbands

This study attempts to consider the relationship between couple burnout, sexual assertiveness, and sexual dysfunctional beliefs in women with diabetic husbands and comparing them with women with non-diabetic husbands.This study includes a sample pop-ulation of 200 individuals; 100 women with diabetic husbands and 100 wom-en with non-diabetic husbands. These participants were selected through available sampling method. Both of the groups filled the questioners inclu-ding personality trait, demographic (self-made), couple burnout (CBM), sexual assertiveness (HISA) and sexual dysfunctional beliefs (SDBQ).Results of multi- variable analysis of variance of the main question of rese-arch show that there is a meaningful difference between couple burnout, sexual assertiveness, and sexual dysfunctional beliefs in women with diabetic husbands and women with non-diabetic husbands. Women with non-diabetic husbands had higher sexual assertiveness and lower couple burnout and sexual dysfunctional beliefs than women with diabetic hus-bands. It seems that one of the most impo-rtant factors influencing and increase-ing couple burnout, increasing wrong sexual beliefs regarding sexual func-tion, and decreasing sexual assertive-ness in women is sexual dysfunction of the husband. In fact, women whose husbands suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes (resulting in sexual dysfunction in patients) have lower sexual assertiveness and higher couple burnout and sexual dysfunctional be-liefs comparing to other women.
