Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Sexual Health
  • Clinical Assessment

Background:

  • Assessing changes in sexual functioning is crucial for patient well-being.
  • Existing measures may not adequately capture illness- and medication-related impacts.
  • A validated, reliable tool is needed for clinical and research settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ).
  • To provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the CSFQ.
  • To establish the CSFQ as a useful measure for sexual functioning.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the CSFQ to medical students (n=122) and psychiatry residents (n=33) on two occasions.
  • Psychiatry residents also completed the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning-Self-Report (DISF-SR).

  • Analyzed concurrent validity between CSFQ and DISF-SR, and test-retest reliability of CSFQ.

    • Main Results:

    • The CSFQ demonstrated high test-retest reliability.
    • Concurrent validity was established between the CSFQ and the DISF-SR.
    • The CSFQ proved to be a reliable and valid measure.

    Conclusions:

    • The Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ) is a psychometrically sound instrument.
    • The CSFQ is effective in measuring sexual functioning changes related to illness and medication.
    • The CSFQ is recommended for both clinical practice and research in sexual health.
