Abstract
Introduction: Intimacy, marital satisfaction, and sexual function are the foundations of marital commitment, which needed to be addressed. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of intimacy, marital satisfaction, and sexual function on nurses' marital commitment
Methods: The present study was conducted in the form of a descriptive causal model, correlation modeling and structural equations. The statistical population of the study included female nurses working in 3 hospitals in Mashhad in 2024, who were randomly selected from hospitals in Mashhad. Using the Cochran formula, 150 nurses were selected and finally the questionnaire of 140 people was analyzed. The data collection tools included questionnaires (Adams and Jones' Marital Commitment, Walker and Thompson's Intimacy, Women's Sexual Function, and Larson's Sexual Satisfaction).Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling and PLS Smart software to examine the relationships between variables.
Results: Intimacy had a direct effect of β=0.165 on sexual function and explained 17% of its variation (P≤0.01). Intimacy has a direct effect of β=0.209 on sexual satisfaction and explains 21 percent of its changes (P≤0.01), intimacy has a direct effect of β=0.508 on marital commitment and explains 51 percent of its changes (P≤0.01), sexual performance has a direct effect of β=0.197 on sexual satisfaction and explains 20 percent of its changes (P≤0.01), sexual performance has a direct effect of β=0.157 on marital commitment and explains 16 percent of its changes (P≤0.01), sexual satisfaction has a direct effect of β=0.199 on marital commitment and explains 20 percent of its changes (P≤0.01). The R2 values indicated that the structural model fit was robust, Conclusion: According to the results, it is recommended to implement counseling and educational interventions with couples to reduce marital problems and increase the level of intimacy, satisfaction, and sexual performance in order to promote marital commitment.
