Περίληψη

Η COVID-19 επηρέασε τη συναισθηματική κατάσταση καθώς και τη σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά των ανθρώπων σε όλον τον κόσμο εξαιτίας των συνθηκών κοινωνικής απομόνωσης, των περιορισμών της καραντίνας αλλά και των οικονομικών επιπτώσεων. Η παρούσα ποσοτική έρευνα εξετάζει την επίδραση της COVID-19 στην σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά του ελληνικού πληθυσμού, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη ψυχική δυσφορία, τον τύπο συγκατοίκησης και την οικογενειακή κατάσταση. Μία σειρά από ερωτηματολόγια χορηγήθηκε σε 221 Έλληνες, γυναίκες και άντρες, σε σχέση ή χωρίς, με σκοπό να μελετηθεί ο τρόπος που η COVID-19 έχει συμβάλλει στην ψυχική δυσφορία τους και έχει επηρεάσει τη σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά τους. Η μέθοδος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε είναι μία παραγοντική (με τρεις ανεξάρτητες μεταβλητές) πολυμεταβλητή ανάλυσης συνδιακύμανσης. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα η πανδημία της COVID-19 επηρέασε αρνητικά τα επίπεδα ψυχικής δυσφορίας και τη σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά γυναικών και αντρών. Στην πλειοψηφία των συμμετεχόντων βρέθηκαν ήπια επίπεδα δυσφορίας τα οποία συνδέονται με την COVID-19 και επηρεάζουν τη συνολική σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά. Ταυτόχρονα, ο τύπος συγκατοίκησης συνδέεται άμεσα με τη σεξουαλική λειτουργία, ενώ η οικογενειακή κατάσταση επηρεάζει και τις γυναίκες και τους άντρες με διαφορετικό όμως τρόπο. Στο μέλλον θα μπορούσε να μελετηθεί η σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά του ελληνικού πληθυσμού χρησιμοποιώντας διαφορετικές μετρήσεις όσον αφορά την πιθανή συναισθηματική επιρροή της COVID-19, όπως επίσης να ερευνήθει τη σεξουαλική συμπεριφορά ατόμων με ειδικές ανάγκες και ψυχικές διαταραχές.
