      ab: The study aims to determine the life experiences of married women with visual and orthopedicdisabilities concerning sexuality and sexual health with the grounded theory method and develop a theory revealing the concepts and processes that affect these experiences with an explanatory framework. The study was implemented with a constructivist grounded theory design and method. The data were collected and analyzed by performing profound interviews with 12 visually disabled women and 13 orthopedically disabled women and recording the data, taking notes with observation, taking analytic notes (mnemonic notes), using secondary data sources and continuous comparison method until attaining satisfaction and using analysis stages (open, axial and selective coding) of the grounded theory synchronously with analysis stage of the data. Focus categories defining the life experiences of married women with visual and orthopedic disabilities concerning sexuality and sexual health were determined as; "Social Perception", "Immediate Environmental Perception", "Familial Perception", "Partner Perception" and "Disabled Individual's Perception", "Coping Mechanisms" and "Solution Offers". Focus categories were under the influence of the categories of; disability, sexuality, disabled sexuality, marriage and starting a family, the intention of having a child and were explained accordingly. Every stage of the grounded theory is affected by the characteristics of married women with visual and orthopedic disabilities, the relationship of their life experiences concerning sexuality and sexual health with each other, contextual and comparative factors, as well as a complex structure that varies according to time and experience.
