Amaç: Bu çalışmada 45-55 yaş arası menopoza girmiş ve girmemiş kadınların cinsel işlev ve depresyon düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntemler: Kesitsel ve vaka kontrol tipte olan bu çalışma Orta Karadeniz bölgesinde bir hastanede Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Polikliniğine başvuran 45-55 yaş arası, 88’i menopoza girmiş ve 88’i menopoza girmemiş olan, araştırmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan toplam 176 evli kadınla tamamlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile Ağustos 2018-Mart 2019 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Arizona Cinsel Yaşantılar Ölçeği (ACYÖ) ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda vaka ve kontrol grubundaki kadınlar sosyodemografik ve bazı özelliklerine göre benzer bulunmuş olup (p>0,05), beden kitle indeksi açısından istatistiksel olarak farklı bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Vaka grubundaki kadınların %88,6’sında, kontrol grubundaki kadınların %51,1’inde cinsel işlev bozukluğu tespit edilmiş olup, gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Vaka ve kontrol grubundaki kadınların BDÖ, ACYÖ toplam ve alt puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Menopoza girmiş olan kadınlarda cinsel işlev bozukluğu ve depresyon görülme düzeyi menopoza girmemiş kadınlara göre daha yüksektir.

Effect of Menopause on Sexual Dysfunction and Depression: A Case-Control Study

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to compare the sexual function and depression levels of women between the ages of 45-55 who have and have not entered menopause.
Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study was completed with a total of 176 married women, aged 45-55, who applied to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic in a hospital in the Central Black Sea region, 88 of whom had entered menopause and 88 of whom had not entered menopause, and who met the inclusion criteria for the study. The data of the research was collected using face-to-face interview technique between August 2020 and February 2021. Personal Information Form, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) and Beck Depression Scale (BDI) were used to collect data.
Results: In our study, women in the case and control groups were found to be similar in terms of sociodemographic and some characteristics (p>0.05), but were statistically different in terms of body mass index (p<0.05). Sexual dysfunction was detected in 88.6% of the women in the case group and 51.1% of the women in the control group, and the difference between the groups was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The difference between the BDI, ASEX total and sub-score averages of women in the case and control groups was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The incidence of sexual dysfunction and depression in women who have gone through menopause is higher than in women who have not gone through menopause.
