Objective: Family dynamics play a significant role in establishing emotional relationships among its members and fostering psychological well-being, which extends to individual and collective members' peace of mind. This study aimed to investigate the impact of parenting styles and sexual education styles of parents, with anxiety as a mediating variable, on the sexual performance of married women.Method: The study population consisted of married women who presented with sexual dysfunction at psychiatric and women's clinics in Tehran. Since the minimum number of samples in structural equation modeling is 200 individuals, 200 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included Baumrind's Parenting Styles Scale (1972), Parental Sexual Education Styles Scale (2010), Beck Anxiety Scale (1990), and Rosen et al.'s Sexual Performance Scale (2000). Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data.Results: The findings of the present study showed that anxiety does not have a mediating effect on the effect of parents' strict sexual education style on the sexual performance of married women, but it has a complete mediating effect on the sexual performance of married women in the authoritative sexual education style of parents. Also, anxiety has a partial mediating effect on the effect of parents' authoritarian parenting style on married women's sexual performance; And it does not have a mediating effect on the effect of parents' authoritarian parenting style on married women's sexual performance (p > 0.05).Conclusion: The study concludes that the sexual performance of married women is significantly influenced by the styles of parenting and sexual education they received, with anxiety playing varied mediating roles. An authoritative approach to sexual education, coupled with parenting styles that manage to reduce anxiety, tends to enhance sexual performance in women

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the structural model of the relationship between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life Satisfaction based on the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis.MethodsThis present study was descriptive correlation research design based on structural equations. The statistical population of the study included all women with endometriosis, referring to Arash Hospital as a referral women center and gynecological office in Tehran, Iran in 2023-2024. Based on the Morgan formula, 357 subjects were selected using a convenient sampling method. The instruments used in this study to collect data were the Women’s Sexual Function Index (Isidori et al., 2010), Short Form Symptom Checklist-25-Revised (Derogatis et al.1973), Social Health Questionnaire (Keyes, 2004), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski, Kraaij, 2006), Satisfaction with life scale (Diner, 1985). Data analysis was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis, AMOS v.22 software was applied to evaluate the proposed model. Intermediate relationships in the proposed model were also tested using the bootstrap method.ResultsThe results of structural equation modeling indicated the model fitness and showed psychological factors has a negative impact on life satisfaction by the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis (β= -0.114, p<0.001). In addition, the relationship between biological and social factors and life satisfaction through the mediating variable was not found to be significant. Conclusion According to the findings, the model has a good fit and cognitive emotion regulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life satisfaction. This study provides a useful framework for identifying the influential components in the field of life satisfaction in women with endometriosis that should be considered in psychological treatment programs.Keywords: sexual function, psychosocial health, cognitive emotional regulation, life satisfaction, endometriosis

Personality disorders can play a significant role in creating and perpetuating sexual function problems in women. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between personality patterns and types of female orgasms. The method of the present study was correlational, and a sample of 400 women in Tehran was selected by convenience sampling method. Tests used to collect data were Millon 3 questionnaires (MCMI-III), Women's Sexual Function Questionnaire (FSFI), and Orgasm Scale Assessment (ORS). According to the results, the highest disorder was related to the satisfaction subscale, and the lowest percentage of the research sample was in the orgasm subscale (25.9%) in the subscales of desire, arousal, humidity, and pain, respectively. The percentage of the research sample was 31, 32, 26.3, and 31.4%. According to the results, the narcissism and negativity subscales had a significant relationship with the types of orgasm (P <0.05) and the other subscales had no significant relationship. According to the results of logistic regression, avoidance, sadism, and borderline subscales were able to predict the types of orgasms and the coefficients of other paths in the regression model did not have significant coefficients (P <0.05).
