The main objective of this study was to systematically identify predictors of SD among veterans with PTSD. Methods: Three hundred veterans with PTSD were included in the cross-sectional study. The subjects were assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and self-report questionnaires: PCL-5, i.e., PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) with Criterion A, International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT), and Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS). Several hierarchical multiple regressions were performed to test for the best prediction models for outcome variables of different types of SD. Results: 65% of participants received a provisional diagnosis of SD. All tested prediction models showed a good model fit. The significant individual predictors were cluster D (Trauma-Related Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood) symptoms (for all types of SD) and in a relationship status\/relationship satisfaction (all, except for premature ejaculation (PE)). Conclusions: The most salient implication of this study is the importance of sexual health assessment in veterans with PTSD. Therapeutic interventions should be focused on D symptoms and intended to improve relationship functioning with the aim to lessen the rates of SD. Psychotropic treatment with fewer adverse sexual effects is of utmost importance if pharmacotherapy is applied. Appropriate prevention, screening, and treatment of medical conditions could improve sexual functioning in veterans with PTSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8040432","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]],"date-time":"2019-03-29T13:09:58Z","timestamp":1553864998000},"page":"432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Predictors of Sexual Dysfunction in Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1928-7980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Letica-Crepulja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka, Referral Center of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1927-500X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Stevanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka, Referral Center of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Health Studies, University of rijeka, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Protu\u0111er","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County General Hospital Vara\u017edin, 42000 Vara\u017edin, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo\u017eidar","family":"Popovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County General Hospital Na\u0161ice, 31500 Na\u0161ice, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Darija","family":"Salopek-\u017diha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County General Hospital Na\u0161ice, 31500 Na\u0161ice, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Snje\u017eana","family":"Vondra\u010dek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County General Hospital Na\u0161ice, 31500 Na\u0161ice, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"516","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2012.02978.x","article-title":"Sexual dysfunction among male veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan: Prevalence and correlates","volume":"10","author":"Hosain","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
