Marital satisfaction among diabetic partners: a cross-sectional study


 This study aimed to determine marital satisfaction among diabetic partners and associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted for six months among couples with diabetic partners in Saudi Arabia. An electronic predesigned couple satisfaction questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire aimed to measure marital satisfaction among couples with a wife/husband diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. A total of 140 participants were included in the final analysis. Most couples did not complain of diabetic complications (84%) or diseases other than diabetes (78%). The mean satisfaction score concerning all aspects of marital life was 4.0 ± 0.9 out of 5, as most of the studied couples (65%) reported high satisfaction scores (≥ 4) regarding all aspects. Most couples were highly satisfied with their romantic relationships (68%), sharing family issues (59%), and general marital life aspects (70%). It could be concluded that diabetes in one partner does not affect marital satisfaction.
