Female Sexual Functioning

Female sexual functioning and satisfaction are impaired by the presence of sexual difficulties. Current study aims to analyze the differences on sexual satisfaction in women according to types of sexual problems (absence of sexual problems, self-perceived and assessed by the FSFI cut-off). A total of 329 women answered to a specific question about presence of self-perceived sexual problems, the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women, and the Female Sexual Functioning Index. Main findings revealed that sexually health women had better levels of sexual satisfaction when compared to women who self-report sexual difficulties and women who scored clinical levels in FSFI. Also, women who scored clinical levels in FSFI scored lower on sexual satisfaction compared to women who self-report sexual difficulties. Female sexual satisfaction was negatively affected by sexual difficulties assessed according to the FSFI cut-off. Although with lower impact, self-perceived sexual problems also affect negatively sexual satisfaction in women.

ObjectiveTo date, there are few validated multidimensional measures of sexual satisfaction that have been translated and empirically validated among Chinese speaking women with gynecologic cancer. The study was undertaken to validate the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women and to examine sexual satisfaction and sexual functioning in a sample of women with gynecologic cancer.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in 209 women, of which 106 had gynecologic cancer and 103 were in the non-cancer group with no history of cancer. Self-evaluations included the Female Sexual Function Index and Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women Traditional Chinese version. Analyses for internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and construct validity were performed. Analysis of variance was conducted for group comparison on sexual satisfaction and sexual functioning.ResultsThe Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women Traditional Chinese version showed good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s α=0.965) and acceptable test–retest reliability (r=0.954). The confirmatory factor analysis on the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women Traditional Chinese version suggested the goodness of fit indices (χ²/df, root mean square residual, goodness of fit index, normed-fit index, comparative fit index, and adjusted goodness of fit index) were good. The women with gynecologic cancer gave significantly lower ratings (mean 102.18) than those without cancer (mean 118.09) for each of the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women Traditional Chinese version domains and total score. Significant differences between women with cancer (mean 13.08) and without cancer (mean 22.92) were noted for each of the Female Sexual Function Index domains and total scores (all p<0.0001).ConclusionsThis translated version of the Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women appears to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring multifaceted components of sexual satisfaction in the general and clinical population of women rooted in Chinese culture.

Aim: This study assessed the various aspects of marital functioning among the spouses of patients with schizophrenia and recurrent depressive disorder (RDD). Methodology: Spouses were assessed on Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Marital Forgiveness Scale, Quality Marriage Index, New Sexual Satisfaction Scale, and Arizona Sexual Experience Questionnaire. Results: Compared to the spouses of patients with RDD, spouses of patients with schizophrenia reported poor marital adjustment (in the consensus and satisfaction domains of DAS), lower quality of marriage, and significantly lower sexual satisfaction. Spouses did not differ significantly on account of marital forgiveness and prevalence of sexual dysfunction. Higher age of onset of schizophrenia in the patients was associated with better quality of marriage as assessed by using quality of marriage scale, better consensus, and satisfaction as per the DAS. Higher residual psychopathology and poor socio-occupational functioning in patients with schizophrenia were associated with poor marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Conclusion: To conclude, the present study depicts that the spouses of patients with schizophrenia have poorer marital adjustment and sexual satisfaction, in comparison to the spouses of patients with RDD.

Post Hoc

This study investigates the differences among women in four sex-role categories—Feminine, Masculine, Androgynous, and Undifferentiated—with regard to sexual behavior and attitudes. The sample consists of 300 undergraduate and graduate women enrolled in 27 classes during the spring of 1978. Four criterion instruments are used: (1) the Bem Sex Role Inventory, (2) the Sexual Arousability Inventory, (3) the Sexual Behavior Inventory, and (4) the Sexual Data Form. Eight null hypotheses are tested. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed significant differences ( p < .05) on three of the eight comparisons. A post hoc analysis revealed the source of significance to be between Undifferentiated women and women in the other three sex-role categories on satisfaction with sexual responsivity and frequency of an orgasm with partner.

SummaryBackground: We have previously shown that a scan-able paper based interface linked to a computerized clinical decision support system (CDSS) can effectively screen patients in pediatric waiting rooms and support the physician using evidence based care guidelines at the time of clinical encounter. However, the use of scan-able paper based interface has many inherent limitations including lacking real time communication with the CDSS and being prone to human and system errors. An electronic tablet based user interface can not only overcome these limitations, but may also support advanced functionality for clinical and research use. However, use of such devices for pediatric care is not well studied in clinical settings.Objective: In this pilot study, we enhance our pediatric CDSS with an electronic tablet based user interface and evaluate it for usability as well as for changes in patient questionnaire completion rates.Methods: Child Health Improvement through Computers Leveraging Electronic Tablets or CHICLET is an electronic tablet based user interface. It is developed to augment the existing scan-able paper interface to our CDSS. For the purposes of this study, we deployed CHICLET in one outpatient pediatric clinic. Usability factors for CHICLET were evaluated via caregiver and staff surveys.Results: When compared to the scan-able paper based interface, we observed an 18% increase or 30% relative increase in question completion rates using CHICLET. This difference was statistically significant. Caregivers and staff survey results were positive for using CHICLET in clinical environment.Conclusions: Electronic tablets are a viable interface for capturing patient self-report in pediatric waiting rooms. We further hypothesize that the use of electronic tablet based interfaces will drive advances in computerized clinical decision support and create opportunities for patient engagement.Citation: Anand V, McKee S, Dugan TM, Downs SM.
