a systematic review

This article aims to list questionnaires used
to assess female sexual function, as well as to analyze
the cross-cultural adaptation process for Brazilian
Portuguese and the measurement properties tested.
Search strategies were performed in the PubMed, Embase,
CINAHL and LILACS databases, using words in English,
Portuguese, and Spanish. Based on the inclusion criteria,
data about the translation, cross-cultural adaptation,
and measurement properties of each eligible questionnaire
were extracted. The measurement properties reported
were evaluated by two evaluators using the Consensusbased
Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement
Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. The search returned a
total of 46,987 studies, of which 131 were read in full,
and only 12 were included in the review. Of the seven
instruments that assess female sexual function found
only three had their psychometric properties evaluated
as good, with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)
being the most validated instrument for different clinical
populations. There is a need to improve the validated
versions of sexual dysfunction assessment instruments
for the female population throughout their life cycle.
