Background: Sexual function is an important part of women's lives, and several factors play a role in its formation.
Objectives: The present study aimed to provide a structural model for predicting women's sexual function through sexual self-efficacy according to the mediator variable of conflict resolution techniques.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was performed on 378 married women who referred to the cultural centers of Isfahan. Female sexual function index, Waziri and Lotfi sexual self-efficacy questionnaire, and the Strauss conflict resolution techniques scale were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and SEM (Structural Equation Model) method using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.
Results: The data related to the fit of the model showed that the fit indices of the model are at the desired level; according to the mediator variable of conflict resolution techniques, the prediction model of female sexual function based on sexual resilience was approved. The results showed that sexual self-efficacy has a negative effect on sexual function (P>0.01; β= -0.30), and conflict resolution techniques also have a negative effect on sexual function (P>0.01; β= -0.43). The study confirmed the mediating role of conflict resolution techniques in the relationship between sexual self-efficacy and sexual function (P>0.01; β= -0.1).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that conflict resolution techniques are one of the basic marital skills to increase compatibility and improve sexual function in couples, as a mediator variable in relation to sexual self-efficacy and sexual function.
