Work stress and sexual satisfaction in married women from the missionary field of Chota, Cajamarca, 2020

Abstract

The present research work aimed to determine the significant relationship between work stress and sexual satisfaction in married women from the Missionary district of Chota, Cajamarca, 2020. The study corresponds to a non-experimental, cross-sectional, quantitative correlational design. The sample consisted of married women from the Missionary district of Chota, Cajamarca, who ranged from 20 to 61 years of age. The instruments applied were the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) test by Maslach and Jackson (1987) and the Sexual Satisfaction Index (ISS) test by Hudson, Harrison and Crosscup (1981). The results obtained showed that there is a strong and direct relationship between work stress and the global score of the sexual satisfaction index (Rho = 0.609, p = 0.000); Likewise, in the evaluation by dimensions, a moderate and inverse relationship between work stress and sexual satisfaction (Rho = -0.557, p = 0.000), and a low and direct relationship with the sexual dissatisfaction dimension (Rho = 0.390, p = 0.000). Finally, no relationship was found between burnout syndrome and sexual rejection (Rho = 0.144, p = 0.102).
