Abstrakt: The purpose of this study is to examine the predictors of sexual quality of life and relationship happiness during the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample in Turkey. This study utilized a descriptive and relational screening design. It was conducted between June 2021 and November 2021 during the pandemic. The participants included 307 women who were accessed online through social networks. The linear multiple regression analysis results showed a significant relationship between changes in the family income level during the pandemic (β-coefficient -0.120; p  = .006), sexual compatibility with the spouse (β-coefficient 0.541; p  = .001) and experiencing problems in sexual life (β-coefficient 0.173; p  = .001) and sexual quality of life. A significant relationship was found between relationship happiness and quality of the time spent with the spouse during the pandemic (β-coefficient -0.282; p  = .001), sexual compatibility with the spouse (β-coefficient -0.327; p  = .001) and marriage compatibility (β-coefficient -0.152; p  = .019). This study found that women's sexual quality of life and relationship happiness were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, women should be provided with consultancy services through the evaluation of their sexual life and relationship happiness when their health problems are evaluated during the pandemic period.
