dc.description.abstractPsychological well-being and sexual quality of life are important determinants of marital adjustment, yet their combined influence has been understudied. This study evaluated the effects of these factors on marital adjustment among 334 married women. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, data were collected via online and face-to-face surveys employing the Sociodemographic Data Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F), and Marital Adjustment Test (MAT). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses were performed. The mean scores were PWBS = 28.72 +/- 8.03, SQOL-F = 42.87 +/- 8.74, and MAT = 43.50 +/- 7.02. Marital adjustment was moderately correlated with psychological well-being (r = 0.490, p < 0.05) and sexual quality of life (r = 0.320, p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that psychological well-being and sexual quality of life together explained 22% of the variance in marital adjustment (R2 = 0.222), with psychological well-being as the stronger predictor. These findings highlight the critical role of individual psychological health in marital dynamics. Incorporating strategies to enhance psychological well-being and sexual health into clinical practice and family counseling may improve marital adjustment and overall relational well-being.
