The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and trans-diagnostic factors with sexual function disorder in women. For this purpose, in a descriptive-correlational study, 231 women referred to health centers in Mashhad in 2016 were selected by available convenience sampling method. The participants completed Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) (2006), Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (2008), Intolerance Of Uncertainty Scale (1994), Metacognition Questionnaire (2004), Acceptance And Action Questionnaire-II (2011), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2006) and Female Sexual Function Index (2000). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and sexual dysfunction in women. Also, there was a significant relationship between trans-diagnostic factors and sexual dysfunction in women. Finally, the results indicated that symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and related factors of trans-diagnostic (intolerance of uncertainty and maladaptive adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies) predicted the symptoms of sexual dysfunction in women.
