Objective: To found prevalence of female sexual dysfunction
based on FSFI and perception of newly bride in Jati Village and its
related factors.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 33 newlybrides
in Jati Village, East Jakarta, who got married for the first time
within less than 6 months and did not have severe disease. We translated and validated the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and
added items on sexual dysfunction perception. The questionnaires
were self-administered by the respondents.
Results: Almost half (42.4%) of the participants were 26 - 30
years old. The most frequent sexual dysfunction domains were
sexual arousal disorder and sexual pain. Frequency of sexual intercourse was significantly associated with sexual dysfunction based
on FSFI. Marital age and frequency of sexual intercourse were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction based on participantsâ
perception. Agreement between FSFI score and sexual dysfunction
perception was substantial (Kappa = 0.615, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The sexual dysfunction prevalence based on FSFI
was 15.2% and based on perception was 12.1%. Participants age and
frequency of sexual intercourse had a significant relationship with
sexual dysfunction. Most of participants who felt that they had
sexual dysfunction did not seek for medical services.
