Abstract This study examined the relationship between dyadic adjustment and sexual satisfaction, in Portuguese women diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV), using a 1-year longitudinal design. Women were assessed at the beginning of the study (N = 209), six months after (N = 178) and twelve months later (N = 105). A better dyadic adjustment predicted more sexual satisfaction but the inverse was not observed. Younger women (< 40 years) showed greater difficulties in dyadic adjustment, while older women (> 40 years) reported lower sexual satisfaction. Findings highlight the importance of intervening with couples, using different intervention programs according to women’s age.

HPV诊断的葡萄牙女性的二元调节和性满意度：一项纵向研究

摘要这项研究使用1年纵向设计研究了诊断为人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的葡萄牙女性的二元调节与性满意度之间的关系。在研究开始时（N = 209），六个月后（N = 178）和十二个月后（N = 105）对妇女进行了评估。更好的二元调节预示着更多的性满足，但未观察到相反的结果。年轻妇女（<40岁）在二元调整中遇到更大的困难，而年龄较大的妇女（> 40岁）则表现出较低的性满足感。调查结果强调了根据女性年龄使用不同的干预计划进行干预的重要性。
