Özet:

 


Objectives:
The
main aim of the study is to compare marital adjustment and sexuality in
schizophrenia patients. 


Methods: The
sample of the study consists of 48 outpatients with a diagnosis of
schizophrenia according to DSM V by the Department of Psychiatry, Bursa Uludağ University School of Medicine and 48 healthy
volunteers. Sociodemographic
Information Form, Marriage Adjustment Scale (MAS), Arizona Sexual Experiences
Scale (ASEX) - (Female and Male form) are applied to both groups. 


Results: A
significant difference was observed between individuals with schizophrenia and
healthy group according to sexual dysfunction. The incidence of sexual
dysfunction in schizophrenia patients is high. While the average values of the
individuals' MAS were higher in the healthy group, no significant difference
was found between the groups according to the MAS total score. 









Conclusions: There
is no difference in terms of compliance with marriage between the healthy group
and schizophrenic patients, but there is a difference in terms of sexual
function. Data from this study suggest that schizophrenia may not be a factor
in marital adjustment but may be a factor that may cause sexual dysfunction.
All schizophrenic patients in our study used drugs. It cannot be ruled out that
drug use may cause sexual dysfunction.
