Data was collected using two questionnaires including the Iranian version of sexual quality of life-female [SQOL-F] questionnaire and a researcher-made measure to assess demographic characteristics, health related, and work-related variables
Results: The mean +/- SD score of SQOL-F was 80.1 +/- 19.7. The univariate analysis showed that the mean score of SQOL-F significantly related with age [P<0.05], duration of sleep [P<0.05], marital duration [P<0.05], educational level [P<0.05], and physical activity [P<0.05]. The regression modeling indicated that educational level [beta=0.33], marital duration [beta=0.32] and quality of sleep [beta=0.56] were predictors of SQOL-F scores
Conclusion: This study showed that educational level, marital duration and quality of sleep were predictors of SQOL-F scores among hospital employee's women
