Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The adverse effects of rheumatologic diseases, especially Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), on sexual functions are known. The causes of sexual dysfunction in rheumatologic diseases are due to factors such as pain, weakness, fatigue, stiffness, functional disability, anxiety, depression, hormonal deficiency, drug use, decreased libido and poor body image. Depending on these factors, sexual intercourse and frequency of sexual intercourse may decrease. Sexual dysfunction may be seen in AS due to physical and emotional problems caused by the disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are many studies in the literature that determine sexual satisfaction and sexual dysfunction in individuals with AS and compare individuals with AS to healthy individuals . In the light of these studies, the investigators thought that the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS may also be affected negatively. In the literature, no previous study examines the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS. Therefore, the aim was to determine the sexual function of partner of individuals with AS and to compare with healthly adults of the same sex.
