Authors
Abstract:
Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Iranian version of the physical disability sexual and body esteem questionnaire (PDSBE) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Materials & Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted on 100 women with PCOS referred to the infertility clinic in Hormozgan province, Iran. After translating the questionnaire and to determine the linguistic validity, a panel of experts evaluated the content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was done to assess the questionnaire structure. Discriminate and convergent validity were evaluated, using known group comparisons and correlating PDSBE with body image concern inventory (BICI). Finding: CVI and CVR results were 0.9 and 0.95, respectively. The results of EFA showed a 2 factor structure (sexual esteem and sexual attraction perceived by others) responsible for 61.21% of variance. A Cronbach's alpha test of the questionnaire was satisfactory. The results of known group comparisons showed that PDSBE differentiates well between patients, who differ in terms of clinical characteristics. Moreover, the results of convergent validity were indicative of a desirable correlation between the scores of BICI questionnaire and the domains of sexual esteem (r=0.43, p<0.001) and attractiveness of PDSBE (r= 0.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: The PDSBE is an understandable and readable questionnaire. Also, women with normal clinical features had higher level of sexual esteem and felt more attractive.
