Abstract

Disclosure of sexual dysfunctions is difficult due to shame and social stigma. The instruments to measure sexual dysfunctions so far were quite backdated and lengthy. Moreover, there was no specific instrument available that could evaluate all the sexual dysfunctions on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ criteria in a single scale; separate for men and women. The objective to develop the scale was to provide the non-clinical population with a short and straight-forward measure in English which could help them in deciding about seeking professional help. The constructed scale comprised of 7 items for males and 7 for females and employed 6-points Likert scale for responses. The study involved 79 men and 105 women (N=184; Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sample Adequacy=0.682 for males and 0.618 for females). The inclusion criteria were the practical involvement of the participants in sexual practices and ability to respond to a questionnaire in English. Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted to measure the reliability and validity of the scale. While employing Principal Component Analysis for extraction and Oblimin with Kaiser Normalization as Rotation, Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted on 7 items for males and 7 items for females separately. Sampling adequacy was found good and the adequacy of correlations between items and was found highly significant. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability was satisfactory. 4 factors were extracted for males with 78.65% variance explained. 3 factors were extracted for females with 66.57% variance explained. The communalities for all the 14 items ranged between 0.554 to 0.937. The study established that Sexual Dysfunctions Tendencies Measure is a valid and reliable tool to measure sexual dysfunctions with the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
性功能障碍倾向量表的构建与初始结构
由于羞耻感和社会污名,性功能障碍很难公开。到目前为止,测量性功能障碍的仪器都是相当落后和冗长的。此外,没有一种特定的工具可以用单一的量表评估《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》标准上的所有性功能障碍;男女分开。开发该量表的目的是为非临床人群提供一个简短而直接的英语测量,以帮助他们决定是否寻求专业帮助。所构建的量表由男性7项、女性7项组成,采用6分李克特量表进行回答。该研究涉及79名男性和105名女性(N=184;Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin样本充分性度量(男性=0.682,女性= 0.618)。纳入标准是参与者实际参与性行为和回答英语问卷的能力。采用探索性因子分析来衡量量表的信度和效度。采用主成分分析法提取,以Kaiser归一化为旋转的Oblimin,分别对男性和女性的7个条目进行探索性因子分析。抽样充分性被发现良好,项目之间的相关性充分性被发现非常显著。克朗巴赫α信度是令人满意的。男性共提取4个因素,方差解释率为78.65%。女性提取3个因素,方差解释率为66.57%。14个项目的群落度在0.554 ~ 0.937之间。本研究证实了性功能障碍倾向量表是一种有效、可靠的工具,可以根据《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》的标准来测量性功能障碍。
