The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): Cross-Validation and Development of Clinical Cutoff Scores
TLDR
Cross-validate the Female Sexual Function Index in several samples of women with mixed sexual dysfunctions and develop diagnostic cut-off scores for potential classification of women's sexual dysfunction and discuss the results in terms of potential strengths and weaknesses of the FSFI.Abstract:
The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a brief, multidimensional scale for assessing sexual function in women. The scale has received initial psychometric evaluation, including studies of reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity (Meston, 2003; Rosen et al., 2000). The present study was designed to cross-validate the FSFI in several samples of women with mixed sexual dysfunctions (N = 568) and to develop diagnostic cut-off scores for potential classification of women's sexual dysfunction. Some of these samples were drawn from our previous validation studies (N = 414), and some were added for purposes of the present study (N = 154). The combined data set consisted of multiple samples of women with sexual dysfunction diagnoses (N = 307), including female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), female sexual orgasm disorder (FSOD), dyspareunia/vaginismus (pain), and multiple sexual dysfunctions, in addition to a large sample of nondysfunctional controls...read more

TL;DR: Cancer and its management have a significant negative impact on sexual function and satisfaction, which can be somewhat mitigated by understanding prediagnosis sexual functioning level, counseling, careful treatment choices, and, when indicated, therapy post-treatment using educational, psychological, pharmacologic, and mechanical modalities.
