Partner Violence Exposure, Violence Awareness, and Their Impact on Female Sexual Function

Öz

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between partner violence exposure, violence awareness, and female sexual dysfunction, particularly among women experiencing infertility and undergoing assisted reproductive treatment. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 50 women who applied to Family Health Centers and voluntarily agreed to participate. Ethical approval was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine (October 13, 2023; no: 49/137/2023). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and participants completed the Exposure to Violence Scale (EVS), Domestic Violence Awareness Scale (DVAS), and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Statistical analyses were performed using appropriate tests based on data distribution. Results: Sexual dysfunction was identified in 68% (n=34) of participants. No significant differences were found between women with and without sexual dysfunction in terms of violence awareness (DVAS) or exposure to violence (EVS) (p>0.05). FSFI total and subscale scores did not differ significantly according to DVAS levels. However, women with higher exposure to domestic violence (low EVS scores) had significantly lower sexual arousal scores compared to those with normal exposure levels (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed in other FSFI subdomains. Conclusion: While partner violence awareness and general exposure to domestic violence were not associated with overall sexual dysfunction, higher exposure to domestic violence was significantly linked to reduced sexual arousal. This finding highlights the importance of assessing sexual health and providing psychosocial support, particularly for women undergoing infertility treatment. Larger, prospective, multicenter studies are needed to further clarify the complex relationship between partner violence, sexual function, and infertility. Keywords: Partner violence, violence awareness, sexual function, infertility, FSFI
