Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate structural equation modeling of sexual function based on sleep quality with mediating role of distress tolerance in menopause women with type 2 diabetes. The present research is the correlation. The statistical population in this research included postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes in Tehran city in year 2023. The sample size was selected based on Kline model (2023) and with convenience sampling of 300 people. Data collection tools included the female sexual function index (FSFI-6) of Isidori and et al (2010), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) of Buysse and et al (1989) and distress tolerance scale (DTS) of Simons and Gaher (2005). Statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS and AMOS-28 software. The findings showed that the direct effect of sleep quality and distress tolerance were significant on sexual function. Also, the results showed that distress tolerance has a mediating role in relationship between sleep quality with sexual function. Also, proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data (RMSEA=0/056, P-value<0/05) and analyses also revealed that %90 of variance of sexual function was explained by sleep quality through the mediating role of distress tolerance. Therefore, it is concluded that sleep quality affect the distress tolerance and cause defects in the sexual function of postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, so it is suggested to reduce their sexual function in psychological interventions for these women.
