[Validation of the Spanish version of the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction]

Self-reports are one of the most used techniques in the evaluation of human sexuality. For this reason, valid and reliable evaluation instruments are necessary for high quality studies.

The main purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction for use in Spanish.

A sample of 1,265 subjects (1,007 men, 258 women) completed the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction questionnaire. Two independent translators performed the translation and a group of experts unified the versions.

The items showed adequate correlation, both in the men's version (0.306-0.440), and in the women's version (0.355-0.652). Reliability is high in both versions (men: 0.864; women: 0.924). Factor analysis adjusts to the theoretical dimensions proposed by the authors of the questionnaire, explaining 57.75% of the variance in men, and 66.67% in women.

The Spanish version of the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction has the necessary psychometric properties to be used both in the clinic and in research.
