Abstract

ANDRADE-TASAYCO, Andrea Verónica; ROSALES-BRINGAS, Christian Alexander  and  PINEDO-TORRES, Isabel. Quality of work life and risk of sexual dysfunction in nurses. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2023, vol.69, n.3, 00004.  Epub Oct 16, 2023. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v69i2544.

Unsatisfactory personal experiences and relationships in the work environment are associated with negative sexual outcomes. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is the disturbance of any of the phases of orgasm. Quality of work life (QWL) is the worker's perception between work demands and coping techniques.

Objective:

To determine the association between quality of work life and the risk of female sexual dysfunction in nurses of a public hospital in Callao, Peru.

Methods:

Observational, cross-sectional, analytical study conducted in nurses of the Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión (HNDAC) of the Constitutional province of Callao, Peru. The risk of FSD was measured with the Rosen test. CVL was measured with the CVP35 questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed with the STATA version 15 program. A value of p<0.05 with a 95% CI was considered significant.

Results:

The study involved 168 nurses who responded completely. The dimensions of CVL associated with DSF were direct support (p=0.01), intrinsic motivation (p=0.003), the question on work disconnection (p=0.007), monthly income (p=0.003), marital status (p=0.001) and alcohol consumption (p=0.014). There was no association in the multivariate analysis.

Conclusion:

In the present study there was no association between dimensions of quality of work life and confounder-adjusted risk of female sexual dysfunction.
