Abstract

Background: Sexual dysfunctions are frequent in the general population and even more frequent in individuals with chronic neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS). Several studies indicate that patients would like healthcare workers to address sexual problems. Indeed, such complaints are not currently sufficiently detected and treated. In clinical practice, a screening tool is lacking to help French-speaking patients and healthcare professionals address this issue.

Objective: The main aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the French adaptation of the self-assessment Sexual Complaints Screener scale for Women (SCS-W) and Men (SCS-M).

Method: A prospective study was conducted among patients with MS in two centers. The SCS-W was adapted into French (QPS-F: questionnaire de plaintes sexuelles - Femmes) and compared to the reference questionnaire Female Sexual Function Index-19 (FSFI-19). The SCS-M was adapted into French (QPS-H: questionnaire de plaintes sexuelles - Hommes) and compared to the reference International Index of Erectile Function-15 (IIEF-15).

Results: Included were 101 women and 35 men with MS. Median age was 40.5 (range: 20-68) years. Based on the Cronbach alpha coefficient, the internal coherence of the QPS in French was 0.89 for women (QPS-F) and 0.71 for men (QPS-H), indicating high reliability. For QPS-F, the bivariate Pearson correlation coefficient indicated good convergence for desire and satisfaction, and average convergence for orgasm, pain, and arousal excitability. For QPS-H, the convergence was good for desire, pleasure, and ejaculation.

Conclusion: The French versions of the SCS-W/M scales, namely QPS-F and QPS-H, are reliable and validated tools compared with the reference questionnaires, FSFI and IIEF-15, respectively. The QPS-F/H are useful tools for brief, simple, and accurate screening and assessment of sexual complaints. They provide supportive information for clinicians who are less familiar with the clinical significance of sexual complaints and hence can be helpful to achieve more adapted care. These scales are adapted, but not specific, to MS. They could be used in other pathologies and the general population.

多发性硬化症患者性主诉筛选器（SCS）的法国验证。

背景：性功能障碍在普通人群中很常见，在多发性硬化症（MS）等慢性神经系统疾病患者中更为常见。多项研究表明，患者希望医护人员能够解决性问题。事实上，目前对这类投诉的检测和治疗还不够充分。在临床实践中，缺乏一种筛查工具来帮助讲法语的患者和医护人员解决这一问题：本研究的主要目的是评估改编自法语的女性（SCS-W）和男性（SCS-M）性投诉筛查自评量表的可靠性和有效性：方法：在两个中心的多发性硬化症患者中开展了一项前瞻性研究。将 SCS-W 改编成法文（QPS-F：sexuelles questionnaire de plaintes sexuelles - Femmes），并与参考问卷 "女性性功能指数-19"（FSFI-19）进行比较。SCS-M 被改编成法文（QPS-H：sexuelles questionnaire de plaintes sexuelles - Hommes），并与参考的国际勃起功能指数-15（IIEF-15）进行比较：结果：共纳入 101 名女性和 35 名男性多发性硬化症患者。中位年龄为 40.5 岁（范围：20-68 岁）。根据克朗巴赫α系数，法语 QPS（QPS-F）的内部一致性为 0.89，而法语 QPS（QPS-H）的内部一致性为 0.71，这表明 QPS 具有很高的可靠性。对于 QPS-F，双变量皮尔逊相关系数表明，欲望和满意度的趋同性较好，性高潮、疼痛和唤醒兴奋性的趋同性一般。对于 QPS-H，欲望、快感和射精的趋同性较好：结论：与参考问卷 FSFI 和 IIEF-15 相比，法文版 SCS-W/M 量表，即 QPS-F 和 QPS-H 是可靠且经过验证的工具。QPS-F/H 是简短、简单、准确筛查和评估性主诉的有用工具。它们为不太了解性主诉临床意义的临床医生提供了辅助信息，因此有助于实现更适合的护理。这些量表适用于多发性硬化症，但不具有特异性。它们可用于其他病症和普通人群。

期刊介绍： The first issue of the Revue Neurologique, featuring an original article by Jean-Martin Charcot, was published on February 28th, 1893. Six years later, the French Society of Neurology (SFN) adopted this journal as its official publication in the year of its foundation, 1899. The Revue Neurologique was published throughout the 20th century without interruption and is indexed in all international databases (including Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus). Ten annual issues provide original peer-reviewed clinical and research articles, and review articles giving up-to-date insights in all areas of neurology. The Revue Neurologique also publishes guidelines and recommendations. The Revue Neurologique publishes original articles, brief reports, general reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor as well as correspondence concerning articles previously published in the journal in the correspondence column.
