본 연구는 WHO 성 건강에 근거하여 노인들의 성 건강을 정신적, 신체적, 감정적, 사회적 성 건강의 통합으로 보고, 영역별 특성과 영향요인의 파악에 목적이 있다. 노인들의 성 건강은 성별, 학력별, 지역별 차이가 크고, 정신적, 신체적, 감정적 성 건강과 사회적 성 건강에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보인다. 도시지역, 고학력, 남성 노인들은 정신적, 신체적, 감정적 성 건강이 높게 나타나고 있으나, 농촌 지역, 저학력, 여성 노인들은 사회적 성 건강이 높게 나타난다. 성 건강에 영향을 미치는 요소는 다음과 같다. 정신적 성 건강은 성생활 만족도와 성 지식에서, 신체적 성 건강은 삶의 만족도와 배우자 만족도에서, 감정적 성 건강은 이성 교제, 배우자 만족도, 성생활 만족도, 성 지식에서 양(+)의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 성 건강은 배우자 만족도와 이성 교제에서 음(-)의 영향을 나타내고 있다. 노년의 통합적 성 건강은 주관적 건강과 삶의 질에 영향을 미쳐 성공적 노화로 이어질 수 있다. 안전하고 건강한 성생활과 대인관계를 형성할 수 있는 성 건강교육이 필요하다. 누적된 삶의 궤적으로 나타나는 '성'은 모든 세대를 아우르는 올바른 성 건강 인식과 성교육이 수반 되어야 한다. 그러므로 성 건강 교육프로그램 구성에서는 상대방에 대한 이해와 소통을 강화하는 성인지 감수성을 높일 수 있는 구성요소를 반영함이 필요하다.

Purpose: Sexual function involves a complex interaction of emotions, body image, and intact physical responses. The purpose of this study was to determine the sexual functioning of women who are incontinent and to identify associated factors. Methods: For this descriptive correlation study, data were collected from 147 women with urinary incontinence. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Mean scores were 22.39 (sexual dysfunction ${\leq}26.55$) for sexual function, 13.38 (of 63) for depression, and 55.47 (range of score 17~85) for body image. Urinary symptoms and daily life symptoms averaged 36.04 (range of score 20~100) and 16.03 (range of score 8~40). Sexual function had a positive correlation with body image and negative correlation with daily life symptoms. Sexual satisfaction, daily life symptoms, marital satisfaction, and frequency of sexual intercourse were factors affecting sexual function. Conclusion: Study results indicate that urinary incontinence has a negative impact on various aspects of sexual function. Nurses should be aware of the wider consideration that needs to be made in relation to general and sexual quality of life when caring for clients suffering from urological diseases.

Purpose: To determine whether maternal attitude toward sex during pregnancy and health-related quality of life could influence sexual function of pregnant women. Methods: In this study, 138 second and third trimester pregnant women completed self-report questionnaires during their visits to women's hospitals or community health centers to assess their general characteristics, attitude toward sex during pregnancy (PIES-M), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D), and sexual function (FSFI-6K). Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the research model with SPSS version 23. Results: Pregnant women who had discontinued their sexual life after recognizing their pregnancy accounted for 27.5% of women questioned. The average sexual function score of pregnant women was higher in the second trimester than the third trimester. Attitude toward sex during pregnancy (${\beta}=-.38$, p<.001), maintaining sexual life (${\beta}=.20$, p=.028), health-related quality of life (${\beta}=.18$, p=.030), and adverse symptoms during sex (${\beta}=.18$, p=.042) were determinants of sexual function during pregnancy. Conclusion: Nurses in antenatal care units need to help pregnant women maintain a positive attitude toward sexual activity during pregnancy and manage their health-related quality of life to maintain their sexual life during pregnancy.
