Note. Age, husband’s education, baseline values of depression, anxiety, FSFI, and FSDS-R were adjusted for both Models A and B. MSPSS: Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support; BSMAS: Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale; FSFI: Female Sexual Function Index; FSDS-R: Female Sexual Distress Scale – Revised; URCS: Unidimensional Relationship Closeness Scale; Boot SE: bootstrapping standard error; Boot LLCI: bootstrapping lower limit of confidence interval; Boot ULCI: bootstrapping upper limit of confidence interval.

^aMediators were assessed at baseline.
