Introduction: Marital burnout is one of the significant challenges in married life that can negatively affect the quality of relationships and the mental health of couples. With the increasing rate of divorce and marital dissatisfaction, investigating this issue has gained special importance. This study aims to examine the role of sexual health literacy in predicting marital burnout among married women, with an emphasis on the mediating role of sexual satisfaction.
Method: This descriptive study used a correlational research design. The sample consisted of 212 married women from Kermanshah city in 2022, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Pines Marital Burnout Scale (1996), Masoumi et al.’s Sexual Health Literacy Scale (2019), and Hudson et al.’s Sexual Satisfaction Index (1981). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: The findings revealed that sexual health literacy had a positive and significant effect on sexual satisfaction (β = 0.68) and a negative and significant impact on marital burnout (β = -0.85). Additionally, sexual satisfaction had a negative and significant effect on marital burnout (β = -0.45, P < 0.05). Bootstrap test results indicated that sexual health literacy indirectly influenced marital burnout through the mediating role of sexual satisfaction (β = 0.37). Sexual satisfaction played a mediating role between these two variables. The results also showed that the total effect of sexual health literacy on sexual satisfaction was significant (β = 0.64).
Discussion and Conclusion: This study demonstrated that sexual health literacy, through increasing sexual satisfaction, leads to a reduction in marital burnout. Therefore, improving sexual health literacy can be used as an effective strategy to enhance marital relationships and prevent marital burnout. It is recommended that educational and counseling programs related to sexual health be designed and implemented for married women to improve the quality of marital relationships through increased awareness.
