Objective:In this study, it was aimed to investigate the sexual health status of health care professional and non- health care professional women and to compare the two groups with each other in terms of sexual health.

Material and Method: The study was carried out with a total of 80 female individuals, 40 health care professionals and 40 non-healthcare professionals, who are over 25 years old, married, have no chronic disease, have not entered the menopause period and are at least primary school graduates out of 116 volunteers who agreed to participate. Demographic information and female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire form was filled in by the interview method. The answers in the questionnaire were multiplied by a different coefficient for each question, and both 6 different subparameter scores and total score were obtained, and the groups were compared with each other in terms of these parameters and total score.

Results: The average age of 80 participants, 40 health professional and 40 non-health professional women included in the study, was determined to be 35.5 (25-52). According to the FSFI scoring, sexual dysfunction was seen in 43 people (53.8%) in both groups, 16 participants (40%) in the healthcare group and 27 (67.5) participants in the non-healthcare group, according to the groups. When the two groups were compared, a significant difference was found in terms of sexual function (p <0.05).

Conclusion: The high rate of sexual dysfunction in women who are not healthcare workers indicates that community based female sexual function education should be supported and increased.
