Purpose: The Female Sexual Distress Scale(FSDS) was developed to measure sexually-related personal distress in women. We performed this study to assess the reliability and validity of FSDS-Korean version in Korean women.
Materials and Methods: The original 20-item FSDS was translated into Korean. One-hundred four healthy, married women were recruited and given the survey. A second survey was done two weeks later for test-retest reliability. Validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability were evaluated.
Results: The test-retest coefficient of stability over a 2-week period was 0.99(p＜0.01). The 20 items of the FSDS have good internal consistency, with an alpha of 0.96. The FSDS discriminated between women with and without sexually related distress(t=-7.34, p＜0.01). The optimal cut-off score was 20(sensitivity 71.4%, specificity 92.2%).
Conclusions: The Korean version of FSDS might be a useful tool to screen for sexually distressed women in Korea.
