Abstract

Background/Objective

The adaptation and validation of measures to assess Sexual Distress (SD) are crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Spanish Sexual Distress Scale (SDS) in a Colombian sample and provide a percentile ranking score for a comprehensive understanding of sexual distress among the population.

Method

Five hundred ninety-six people from Colombia (50.08 % women; 49.92 % men) aged 18–60 participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses and a convergent validity analysis were performed.

Results

The SDS showed a high internal consistency (Ω = .95, α = .94) and a unidimensional model. Significative correlations were found between the SDS and related measures with sexual functioning, further supporting its convergent validity.

Conclusions

The SDS is a valid and reliable measure to evaluate SD in Colombians, with implications for clinical practice and sexual health research. More investigations are needed to address the limitations, strengthen the validity and reliability of the scale, and develop specific interventions based on its results.

在哥伦比亚人口中对性困扰量表进行西班牙文改编和验证

背景/目的评估性苦恼（SD）的方法的调整和验证对于性功能障碍的诊断和治疗至关重要。本研究旨在对西班牙性苦恼量表（SDS）进行改编，并在哥伦比亚样本中进行验证，同时提供一个百分位数排名，以全面了解人群的性苦恼情况。结果SDS显示出较高的内部一致性（Ω = .95，α = .94）和单维模型。结论SDS是评估哥伦比亚人SD的有效、可靠的测量方法，对临床实践和性健康研究具有重要意义。要解决量表的局限性，加强其有效性和可靠性，并根据其结果制定具体的干预措施，还需要进行更多的研究。
