Results: Perceived level of stress of the healthcare workers was low [16.9(0.001)] and mean sexual satisfaction (SS) was poor [78.93(23.68)]. Also, 49.3% were found to be the dissatisfied maritally. Perceived stress showed a positive correlation with marital satisfaction (MS) (r=0.48, p <0.01). However, stress negatively correlated with participants’ SS with partners (r=-0.51, p <0.01). Similarly, general SS positively correlated with MS (r=0.32, p <0.01). Predictors of MS included perceived stress (β=0.614, p =0.01), age differences with spouse (β=0.30, p =0.01), number of children (β=-0.24, p =0.01), and family type (β=-0.21, p =0.05). Conclusion: Only half of the participants in this study are maritally satisfied. Marital satisfaction increases with sexual satisfaction. Stress is correlated with reduced sexual satisfaction of the participant, and as number of children increases, marital satisfaction reduces. Couples should be encouraged to give birth to moderate number of children to improve marital satisfaction.}, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {367--379} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v12i3.48477}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/48477} }
