Abstract

Background: Public hospitals are currently experiencing significant impacts due to the shortage of both quantity and quality in healthcare personnel, with numerous highly skilled medical professionals resigning or transferring to private hospitals. Female healthcare workers face many hardships and greater pressure as they strive to balance family and work life. The stressful working environment and pressure can greatly affect both physical and mental health, including sexual health. In Vietnam, there is limited research on female sexual dysfunction among female healthcare workers. Objective: To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and associated factors among female healthcare workers in public hospitals in Buon Ma Thuot city. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 384 female healthcare workers working in 3 public hospitals in Buon Ma Thuot city. All HCWs who agreed to participate in the study were sent the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire via online forms (Google forms). Results: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 69% ( CI 95%: 64.1 - 73.7), and the factors associated with general FSD were: Catholicism (POR*: 5.9), satisfaction with the husband's sexual relations (POR*: 0.064), perception that caring for young children interferes with sexual relations of the couple (POR*: 2.2), job pressure/very high pressure (POR*: 3.55), and being a HCW at Central Highlands General Hospital (POR*: 3.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of FSD among female HCWs significantly increases when working in high-pressure and stressful environments, adhering to Catholicism, perceiving childcare as affecting sexual relations, and experiencing dissatisfaction with the husband's sexual relations.
