Sažetak
The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between educational level,
employment status and sexual activity after delivery. The study was conducted on 286 women with
experience of vaginal delivery who completed the questionnaire about age, education, employment,
and health status for themselves and partners. Time of the first intercourse and its frequency in the
first year after childbirth was observed. Relationship between the variables observed was explored
by using multiple linear regression. The mean pregnancy duration was 39 weeks. The mean age
of participants was 29.9 (16 to 44) years. Most women had high education (n=170, 59.4%), 114
(39.9%) had secondary, and 2 (0.7%) had primary educational level. Although there were significant
differences in the time of the first intercourse and maternal educational level (p=0.013872),
partner’s employment status (p=0.007403) and maternal age (p= 0.01107), as well as differences
in the frequency of intercourse in the first year following delivery and partner’s educational level
(p=0.016929), multiple correlation coefficients indicated a very weak correlation. According to
study results, the correlation of educational level, employment status and sexual activity after childbirth
is weak.
