 Background: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) occurs frequently in women with breast cancer due to oncologic treatments. It is essential to have a validated instrument to diagnose and quantify FSD in this population accurately. Objective: To validate the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Method: The FSFI was applied to 272 sexually active Mexican women with recent diagnosis of breast cancer who had not initiated systemic cancer treatment. Results: The FSFI six-factor model is valid by confirmatory factor analysis, and the inventory and its factors have adequate internal consistency reliability. Conclusions: This study provides enough evidence about the reliability and factor structure of the FSFI questionnaire in the context of breast cancer clinical practice in Mexico.

Abstract Background The 6-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a short form of the original 19-item FSFI that measures sexual function in women. The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure and reliability of the FSFI-6 and to determine the demographic correlates of sexual dysfunction among infertile women in Iran. Results In total, 250 infertile women participated in this study. The mean total FSFI-6 score was 20.71 ± 5.09. Internal consistency of the FSFI-6 was high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.856). All inter-item correlations and item-total correlations were in acceptable range. The results of confirmatory factor analysis provided support for a unidimensional model of the FSFI-6. Among demographic and infertility variables, higher women’s age, low education, unwanted marriage, short infertility duration, and low frequency of intercourse were associated with sexual dysfunction. Conclusions The FSFI-6 demonstrated sound reliability and validity in this study, supporting its continued use for measuring sexual disfunction among infertile women. Its brevity and comprehensiveness allow a quick assessment both in clinical and research settings.

Background: Social Support (SS) has been an important variable to consider in the psychosocial understanding of patients with cancer. Objective: To test the 3-factor model for the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS SSS) and estimate its internal consistency reliability in Mexican women with Breast Cancer (BC). Methods: 300 women diagnosed with BC were enrolled in a convenience sampling. Participants were asked to complete the Spanish version of the MOS SSS (Argentina). After the approval of the Ethics and Research Review Board of Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, the Mexican adaptation was created through three phases: 1) linguistically adaptation; 2) presentation of the corrected and integrated version to another expert, and 3) pilot study. Results: The MOS SSS obtained a factorial structure with 13 items distributed among three factors. A high internal consistency (Alpha=0.912) and an acceptable explained-variance value (67%) were obtained; finally, the confirmatory analysis determined a proper adjustment with that structure. Conclusions: This instrument has adequate psychometric properties and is useful for evaluation and culturally appropriate to the clinical management of SS.

Objectives: Breast cancer is known as one of the most common women’s neoplasms and the Diagnosis and Treatment of cancer has a great effect on women’s sexual function. Considering the high survival rates of breast cancer, attention to sexual function is very important as a domain in the quality of life. Therefore, this research aimed to review studies on women’s sexual function using the female sexual function index (FSFI). Materials and Methods: To this end, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases were considered and Iranian studies on sexual function in breast cancer, which were in Persian or English and used the FSFI tool, were selected in this regard. In addition, these studies were methodologically evaluated and the keywords included "breast cancer" and "sexual function", along with their synonyms. Results: A total of 128 studies were identified out of which 5 cases having the inclusion criteria were selected after reviewing the title, abstract, and quality assessment. The rate of sexual dysfunction in the survivors of breast cancer varied between 52.5% and 100%. Based on the domains of FSFI, the lack of desire and lubrication dysfunction were the most common disorders while satisfaction with sexual life obtained the highest score. Conclusions: Overall, it is necessary to systemically measure sexual dysfunction after cancer diagnosis and treatment employing an appropriate tool. Finally, effective interventions are required to improve sexual function.

Objetivo: Estudar a prevalência de disfunção sexual e fatores de risco associado em universitárias jovens do sul brasileiro. Métodos: A função sexual de estudantes de fisioterapia de três cidades foi avaliada por meio do Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). A associação entre a disfunção sexual (DS) em cada domínio e variáveis sociodemográficas foi verificada pelo teste qui-quadrado ou Exato de Fisher. Regressões logísticas binárias, bruta e ajustada, examinaram as associações. Resultados: Foram incluídas 244 estudantes, média etária 23 ± 6 anos, heterossexual (93,9%), solteira (68,9%), nuligesta (79,5%), usuária de anticoncepcional hormonal (75%), vivendo com mais três a cinco pessoas (64,6%), renda conjunta de R$ 3.600,00 a R$ 5.500,00 (26,4%), sendo 13,1 mães e 10% gestantes. Média etária dos parceiros 25,9 ± 6 anos, a maioria (58,2%) com nível superior de escolaridade, média etária do relacionamento atual 3,9 ± 3 anos. A prevalência total de DS foi de 25%, mas 90% das não afetadas apresentaram ao menos um domínio do FSFI afetado. Para as 244 voluntárias os domínios mais afetados foram lubrificação (61,7%), dor (58,8%), desejo (57,6%), orgasmo (54,3%), excitação (50,6%) e satisfação (31,7%). União estável, idade do parceiro (p = 0,01) e da mulher (p = 0,00) estiveram associadas à DS. A DS da excitação e lubrificação esteve associada à renda (p = 0,01). DS do orgasmo foi associada à união estável (p = 0,01), idade da mulher (p = 0,03) e do parceiro (p = 0,01) e do relacionamento (p = 0,04) e o uso de anticoncepcionais hormonais (p = 0,04). A DS da satisfação foi associada à união estável (p = 0,00), idade da mulher (p = 0,03), relacionamentos recentes (p = 0,00) e a gestação (p = 0,00). Dor sexual foi associada ao maior número de pessoas vivendo na mesma casa (p = 0,00). Conclusão: A DS feminina é prevalente em jovens universitárias no sul do país, sendo o problema associado ao estado civil, idades mais jovens da mulher e do parceiro, relacionamentos recentes, falta de privacidade, anticoncepcionais hormonais, gestação.Palavras-chave: disfunção sexual feminina, prevalência, fatores de risco, universitárias.
