Background and Aim: One of the major challenges in the health sector, especially in relation to nurses, is shiftwork that can have many negative consequences for this group. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to comparison of marital satisfaction, intimacy and sexual function in female married nurses with fixed and changing shiftwork in Abadan city government hospitals.
Methods: The research method is a descriptive comparative design. The statistical population of the study consisted of all the female married nurses of Abadan city government hospitals, which was about 400 people. From this, 140 people were selected by simple random sampling method, of which 57 people had fixed shiftwork and 83 people had changing shiftwork. The instruments of the present study included Hudson’ Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire, Vaker and Thompson’ Intimacy Questionnaire, and Rosen et al’ Sexual Function Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using MANOVA analysis and SPSS software version 24.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that there is no significant difference in marital satisfaction (F=0.29, P=0.589), intimacy (F=0.13, P=0.724) and sexual function (F=0.07, P=0.795) between female married nurses with fixed and changing shiftwork.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, it seems that there are mechanisms that moderate the effect of shiftwork on different outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the conditions for strengthening these mechanisms.
