The present study aimed to determine the status of married women&rsquo;s sexual function and also strove to elucidate the association between both spirituality and demographic factors with sexual function. </span></span></span></span><br /> <span style="line-height:200%"><b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:black">Methods: </span></span></span></b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:black">This descriptive, analytical study was performed on 120 married women, referring to two active health centers from Nov 2021 to Feb 2022 in Amol, Iran. &nbsp;W</span>omen&#39;s sexual function was measured using <span style="color:black">Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWB) was also used to evaluate women&rsquo;s</span> <span style="color:black">Spirituality. The obtained data were analyzed by Pearson correlation (r) and linear regression analysis.</span></span></span></span><br /> <span style="line-height:200%"><b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:black">Results: </span></span></span></b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:black">The mean values for female sexual function and spiritual health score were 25.7 &plusmn; 4.6, and 97.9 &plusmn;14.0, respectively. Spiritual health positively correlated with sexual function (rho=0.35, P<0.001). Also, spiritual health dimensions including religious well-being (rho=0.20, P<0.028) and existential well-being (rho=0.38, P<0.001) positively correlated with the sexual function of married women. There was a significant and positive correlation between religious well-being and some sexual function dimensions, including sexual arousal (rho=0.22, P<0.017), sexual orgasm (rho=0.20, P<0.027), and sexual pain (rho=0.20, P<0.026). Also, 12%, 4%, and 14% of sexual function of married women can be explained based on spiritual health, religious well-being and existential well-being, respectively. In addition, religious well-being did not have a significant association with sexual desire, sexual lubricant, and sexual satisfaction.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="line-height:200%"><b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times=""><span style="color:black">Conclusion: </span></span></span></b><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" times="">Spiritualty can lead to increased sexual health.
