Key Words Postpartum women; Sexual function; Depressive symptoms; Pelvic floor muscle strength; Mediating effect
Core Tip This study included 130 postpartum women to explore the mediating effect of pelvic floor muscle strength recovery (PFMSR) on sexual function (assessed by Female Sexual Function Index) and depressive symptoms (assessed by Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale). The results showed that the PFMSR played a partial mediating role, accounting for 33.60% of the total effect, suggesting the need for clinical attention to the PFMSR and psychological screening for postpartum women’s physical and mental recovery.
