The present study was conducted to predict sexual relationship anxiety based on sexual self-concept and sexual schemas in men with heart failure. The present research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included men with heart failure who were referred to Shahid Dr. Lavasani Hospital in Tehran in the first 6 months (April to September) of 2023, and 287 of them were selected as a sample using a purposive sampling method. Data were collected through Davis et al.'s Sexual Communication Anxiety Scale (SCAS, 2006), Snell's Multi-dimensional Sexual Self-concept Questionnaire (MSSCQ, 1995), and Anderson et al.'s Men's Sexual Self-Schema (MSSS, 1999). Multiple regression was used to analyze the data. The findings of the research showed that sexual self-concept and sexual schemas were able to predict sexual relationship anxiety (p<0.05) and explained 54.1% of the variable variance of sexual relationship anxiety. Therefore, it can be concluded that sexual self-concept and sexual schemas play a significant role in predicting sexual relationship anxiety and the need to pay attention to these factors to reduce sexual relationship anxiety in men with heart failure seems essential.
