Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The relationship between depression and sexual satisfaction in middle-aged women has been reported previously. However, there is insufficient evidence that depression is related to sexual satisfaction or that sexual satisfaction is related to depression. This study evaluated the relationship between depression and sexual satisfaction in middle-aged women by evaluating the equation model analysis of the two models.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 middle-aged women in Isfahan, Iran, in 2021. Sexual satisfaction dimensions were evaluated using self-report women\'s sexual satisfaction questionnaire. Also, the depression scale of the general health questionnaire was used to measure of the depression level. Research data were analyzed using a multivariate linear regression test. Also, the fit of the model was evaluated using Amos software.
RESULTS: The results showed that depression score had an inverse relationship with sexual satisfaction in the relational concern dimension (Beta = -0.27, P = 0.006, CI: -0.11 to - 0.86). Model fit evaluation showed that the sexual satisfaction-depression model had a better fit than the depression-sexual satisfaction model (CMIN/DF = 1.123, P = 0.64).
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that depression in middle-aged women is related to the relational concern. It is necessary to consider counseling programs to solve sexual relationship concerns in middle-aged women\'s mental health promotion programs.

摘要：
背景：以前曾报道过中年妇女抑郁与性满意度之间的关系。然而,没有足够的证据表明抑郁与性满意度有关，或性满意度与抑郁有关。本研究通过对两种模型的方程模型分析评价了中年女性抑郁与性满意度的关系。
方法：这项横断面研究是对伊斯法罕的190名中年女性进行的，伊朗,2021年。采用自报女性性满意度问卷评价性满意度各维度。此外，一般健康问卷的抑郁量表用于测量抑郁水平。使用多元线性回归检验分析研究数据。此外，使用Amos软件评估模型的拟合度。
结果：结果显示，在关系关注维度上，抑郁评分与性满意度呈负相关（Beta=-0.27，P=0.006，CI：-0.11至-0.86）。模型拟合度评价显示,性满意度-抑郁模型的拟合度优于抑郁-性满意度模型(CMIN/DF=1.123,P=0.64)。
结论：结果显示，中年妇女的抑郁与关系问题有关。在中年女性心理健康促进项目中,有必要考虑咨询项目来解决性关系问题。
