COVID-19パンデミックがトルコの女性の性行動に及ぼす影響を評価する。

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on female sexual behavior in women in Turkey.

方法:

パンデミック前に実施された先行研究のデータを用いた観察研究。パンデミック中の女性の性交頻度、妊娠願望、女性性機能指数（FSFI）スコア、避妊の種類、月経異常をパンデミック前の6～12ヶ月間と比較した。参加者は電話で質問を受けた。

METHODS: An observational study using data from a previous study conducted prior to the pandemic. We compared frequency of sexual intercourse, desire for pregnancy, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score, contraception type, and menstrual abnormalities among women during the pandemic with 6-12 months prior to the pandemic. Participants were contacted by telephone for questioning.

結果:

平均性交頻度は、パンデミック前の6～12ヶ月と比較して、パンデミック中に有意に増加した（2.4 vs 1.9、P=0.001）。パンデミック前は19人（32.7％）の参加者が妊娠を希望していたが、パンデミック中は3人（5.1％）に減少した（P=0.001）。逆に、パンデミック中の避妊の使用は、パンデミック前と比較して有意に減少した（24人対10人、P=0.004）。月経障害はパンデミック中に以前よりも多かった（27.6％対12.1％、P=0.008）。参加者のFSFIスコアは、パンデミック前の方がパンデミック中と比較して有意に高かった（20.52対17.56、P=0.001）。

RESULTS: Average frequency of sexual intercourse was significantly increased during the pandemic compared with 6-12 months prior (2.4 vs 1.9, P=0.001). Before the pandemic 19 (32.7%) participants desired to become pregnant, whereas during the pandemic it had decreased to 3 (5.1%) (P=0.001). Conversely, use of contraception during the pandemic significantly decreased among participants compared with prior (24 vs 10, P=0.004). Menstrual disorders were more common during the pandemic than before (27.6% vs 12.1%, P=0.008). Participants had significantly better FSFI scores before the pandemic compared with scores during the pandemic (20.52 vs 17.56, P=0.001).

結論:

COVID-19パンデミックでは性欲と性交頻度は有意に増加したが、性生活の質は有意に低下した。パンデミックは、妊娠願望の低下、女性の避妊の減少、月経障害の増加と関連している。

CONCLUSION: Sexual desire and frequency of intercourse significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas quality of sexual life significantly decreased. The pandemic is associated with decreased desire for pregnancy, decreased female contraception, and increased menstrual disorders.
