Amaç: Bu araştırmada, birtakım sosyodemografik özellikler değerlendirilerek, katılımcıların evlilik uyumları ve cinsel doyumları arasındaki ilişkinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma, rastgele seçilen 23-58 yaş aralığındaki, İstanbul’da özel bir hastanede, çeşitli genel tıbbi nedenlerle psikiyatri, üroloji ve kadın hastalıkları dışı polikliniklere başvuran 100 evli katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklemin kadın-erkek dağılımı eşittir. Katılımcılar birbiri ile evli değillerdir. Katılımcılara, tarama amaçlı SCL-90 ölçeği verilmiş ardından, psikiyatrist tarafından muayene edilmişlerdir. Zekâ geriliği, psikoz ve bunama belirtisi gösterenler başta olmak üzere genel ve cinsel işlevselliği bozacak mahiyette herhangi bir psikopatolojisi olanlarla okuma yazması olmayanlar çalışmaya alınmamıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak sosyo-demografik form, Golombok-Rust Cinsel Doyum Ölçeği ve Evlilik Uyum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon analizlerine göre, her iki cinsiyetin evlilikte hissettikleri uyum, cinsel doyum problemleri ile olumsuz yönde ilişkilidir. Bu oran kadınlarda (r= -.62, p< .01) ve erkeklerde (r = -.59, p< .01) olarak bulunmuştur. Çoklu Regresyon analizinde, her iki cinsiyette de regresyon katsayısı anlamlı çıkmıştır. Kadın katılımcılar örnekleminde, yaş, evlilik öncesi cinsel birleşmenin varlığı ve evlilikte hissedilen uyum toplam varyansın %44’ünü açıklamaktadır (R2=.44; düzeltilmişR 2 = .41).

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between the marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction of the participants by considering some socio demographic features. Method: The research was carried out with 100 married participants who were randomly selected between 23-58 years old, who applied to out patient clinics other than psychiatry, urology and gynecology, in a private hospital in Istanbul. The femalemale distribution of the sample is equal. None of the participants are married to each other.The participants were given the SCL-90 scale for screening and then examined by the psychiatrist. Patients with mental retardation, psychosis and symptoms of dementia, especially those with any psychopathology that could disrupt general and sexual functionality, and those who were illiterate were not included in the study. Sociodemographic form, Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: According to the Pearson Moments Product Correlation analysis, level of marital adjustment was negatively related to the sexual dissatisfaction for both genders. This rate was found in women (r = -.62, p <.01) and in men (r = -.59, p <.01). In multiple regression analysis, the regression coefficient was found to be significant in both genders. In the sample of female participants, age, presence of sexual intercourse before marriage and marital adjustment accounted for 44% of the total variance (R2 = .44; adj.R2 = .41). According to beta values (ß), marital adjustment significantly predicted sexual dissatisfaction (ß = -. 521, t = - 4.318, p <.001). According to the results of male participants, both age (ß = .320, t = .2.848, p <.05) and marital adjustment (ß = --.529, t = - 4.688, p <.001) significantly predicts sexual dissatisfaction. Conclusion: A significant relationship was found to be between marital adjustment and sexual dysfunction. The effects of premarital sexual intercourse for both males and females were not detected, but only a negative relation was found in men regarding age. The data obtained from the study displayed that male and female participants with a positive perception of marriage adjustment have more sexual satisfaction.
