The mean income of the subjects was 85.8870 won / month, and 179(77%) of them were housewives. The mean number of pregnancies and children were 4.9 and 2.5 respectively. Oophorectomies were included in the surgery for 66(28.7%) of the subjects. Only 12(5.2%) were planning to have more children. Only 88(38.3%) of the subjects had received information prior to the surgery regarding health problems related to the operation and less than half, 111 (48.3%), had received this kind of information before discharge. Lay persons were the source of information about the post-operation status for 196 (85.2%) of the subjects, but the content of the information did not significantly influence the sexual satisfaction score. Only 16(7.0%) of the subjects said they regretted having a hysterctomy while 102(44.3%) said they were pleased to have had a hysterectomy. Ninety (39.1 %) of the subjects reported that their husbands had “stress” and 164(71.3%) of the subjects reported “stress”. The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. The mean score for sexual satisfaction of the subjects was 34.24 with a possible maximum score of 50.00.

The following 15 factors extracted from the results of the data analysis were significantly related to sexual satisfaction(p＜.05) ; support of husband, body image, emotion, knowledge of sex, menopausal symptoms, sexual behavior, the feelings the subjects had about the hysterectomy, stress for both subject and husband, the number of children, health information given before operation, job, age, level of education and income. The five most important factors influencing sexual satisfaction were identified by using stepwise multiple regression analysis. The most important factor was support of husband, which explained 17.83% of the total variance. The remaining factors in order of significance were : Knowledge of sex, income, job, and emotional status. Those five factors explained 35.16% of the sexual satisfaction. In conclusion, for the care of women who are going to be discharged from hospital after having had a hysterctomy, nurses have to work with the husbands to help them to understand the importance of their support. Nurses also need to make sure that the subjects have an adequeate knowledge of sexual life after a hysterectomy. Also nursing interventions should focus on subjects who do not have a job, who are of low economic status, and the subjects who are under the unpleasant mood.

부부의 성만족도는 결혼생활 및 삶의 만족을 예언하는 중요한 변인이다. 또한 부부간의 성관계는 부부 상호간의 신체적, 정서적 상호작용으로서 평소 부부의 의사소통 유형과 밀접한 관련이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 부부간의 성만족도에 중요한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 부부의 의사소통 유형을 부부 상호작용의 관점에서 조사하였다. 서울과 경기, 강원 일부지역(원주)에 거주하는 부부 688명(344쌍)을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였으며, 그 결과, 부부의 의사소통 유형과 부부 성만족도 사이에 유의미한 관계가 발견되었다. 언어적 표현을 많이 사용하는 개방형 의사소통을 할수록 높은 수준의 감정을 노출하는 고정서형 의사소통을 할수록 부부의 성만족도가 높았다. 전반적으로, 부인이 개방적이고 높은 수준의 감정을 노출하는 의사소통을 할수록 부부의 성만족도는 상대적으로 높았으며, 그 중에서도 남편이 의사소통에 적극적일 수록 부부의 성만족도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The subjects were 182 urban women born under the one-child policy, who live in Heilongjiang, Anhui and Beijing provinces of China, and have been married up to six years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS software and tested the significance of the mediation effects using bootstrapping method in Mplus software. The results of the study are as follows. First, both enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping had positive direct impacts on urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction and positive indirect impacts on marital satisfaction via sexual intimacy. Second, enjoyable couple activity was the strongest predictor of marital satisfaction, followed by common dyadic coping and sexual intimacy. The path model explained 48% of the variance in marital satisfaction. The results suggest that enjoyable couple activity, common dyadic coping, and sexual intimacy should be considered in the design of interventions to enhance urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction in the early years of marriage.
