目的。本研究调查了风湿病患者及其配偶的功能障碍与性满意度之间的关系，并将他们的性满意度水平与健康对照夫妇进行了比较。方法。113对风湿病夫妇和37对对照夫妇填写了邮寄问卷。风湿病学家对美国风湿病学会的功能分类进行了评级。结果。功能障碍越大，患者和配偶的性满意度越高。患有风湿病的夫妇和对照组夫妇在性不满意方面没有差异。在患者、配偶和对照夫妇中，女性对性的不满程度高于男性。结论：患有风湿病的夫妇能够维持令人满意的性关系。然而，当患者更加残疾时，患者和配偶对性的不满就会更大。卫生服务提供者必须对性问题保持敏感，并准备好解决患者及其伴侣的这些担忧。男性和女性对于性可能有不同的担忧。
Purpose.This study examined the relationship between functional disability and sexual satisfaction for both rheumatic disease patients and their spouses and compared their levels of sexual satisfaction to those of healthy comparison couples.Methods.One hundred thirteen rheumatic disease couples and 37 comparison couples completed mailed questionnaires. Rheumatologists rated American College of Rheumatology functional classification.Results.Greater functional disability was related to greater sexual dissatisfaction for patients and spouses. Rheumatic disease and comparison couples did not differ in sexual dissatisfaction. Women reported greater sexual dissatisfaction than men among patients, spouses, and comparison couples.Conclusions.Couples coping with rheumatic disease are able to maintain satisfying sexual relationships. However, when patients are more disabled, sexual dissatisfaction is greater among both patients and spouses. Health providers must be sensitive to issues of sexuality and be prepared to address these concerns among both patients and their partners. Men and women may have different concerns regarding sexuality.
