Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

Sexual well-being is an important aspect of women's life. The objective of this study was to validate the Portuguese-translated version of the short form of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire—PISQ-12.

Methods

Sixty-four women were enrolled to participate in the process of validating the PISQ-12 (study group). A further 68 subjects were allocated to a control group for comparison between the group of women with pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence and the asymptomatic group.

Results

The PISQ-12 presented good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.79 for the study group and 0.80 for the control group). The test–retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.77. Mean score on the PISQ-12 was significantly higher in the control group than in the study group (42.7 ± 3.9 vs 27.8 ± 9.3)

Conclusions

The Portuguese version of the PISQ-12 was reliable for the assessment of sexual function in women with pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence.
