A study published in Reproductive Health examines the factors influencing sexual self-efficacy among Iranian women of reproductive age. Researchers analyzed data from 424 women through validated questionnaires assessing demographics, socioeconomic status, social support, stress, intimate partner violence, and sexual self-efficacy. The findings reveal that perceived social support and socioeconomic status positively impact sexual self-efficacy, while perceived stress and intimate partner violence negatively affect it. The study indicates that intimate partner violence and perceived stress mediate the relationship between age, socioeconomic status, and sexual self-efficacy. The path analysis showed a strong model fit with various statistical indicators confirming its robustness. The study emphasizes the importance of enhancing sexual self-efficacy, especially for women with low socioeconomic status, and suggests implementing targeted programs to reduce stress and domestic violence while increasing social support for women facing sexual health challenges.
