Abstract

Objective: Sexuality plays an important role in quality of life, and the postpartum period may negatively affect women's sexual function. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Sexual Quality of Life - Female (SQoL-F) for use for use in Brazilian women in the postpartum period.

Methods: The original version of the SQoL-F was translated and back translated by four independent sworn translators. A sample of 125 women in the late postpartum phase participated in the cultural adaptation (n=30) and convergent validation (n=95) phases. For the latter, the instrument was compared with the Brazilian version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). To assess reproducibility, 25 of the 95 women who participated in the validation phase completed the SQoL-F twice, at different times (two interviewers administered the SQoL-F, 15 to 20 days apart).

Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.905 (intraclass correlation=0.974; 95%CI: 0.943-0.988; p<0.001). Significant, moderate, positive correlations were observed between the SQoL-F score and the FSFI total score (r=0.572; p<0.001) and domains 'Desire' (r=0.502; p<0.001), 'Arousal' (r =0.576; p<0.001), and 'Satisfaction' (r=0.637; p<0.001). Excellent reproducibility was obtained for the SQoL-F score (intraclass correlation=0.974; 95%; CI: 0.943-0.988; p<0.001).

Conclusion: The SQoL-F was adapted to the cultural context of Brazilian postpartum women, proved reproducible, and exhibited face, content, and construct validity.

女性性生活质量(SQoL-F):产后女性巴西葡萄牙语版本的翻译、文化适应和验证。
目的:性在生活质量中起着重要的作用,产后可能会对女性的性功能产生负面影响。本研究旨在翻译、文化适应和验证巴西产后妇女的性生活质量-女性(SQoL-F)。方法:由4名独立的宣誓翻译人员对sql - f原版本进行翻译和反翻译。125名产后晚期妇女参加了文化适应阶段(n=30)和趋同验证阶段(n=95)。对于后者,将该仪器与巴西版女性性功能指数(FSFI)进行比较。为了评估再现性,95名参与验证阶段的女性中有25名在不同的时间完成了两次SQoL-F(两位采访者间隔15至20天进行SQoL-F)。结果:Cronbach's alpha = 0.905(类内相关=0.974;95%置信区间:0.943—-0.988;结论:sql - f量表适用于巴西产后妇女的文化背景,具有可重复性,显示了量表的面貌、内容和结构效度。
