The clinical evaluation of female sexual dysfunctions should be supplemented by validated questionnaires; however, there is no specific instrument available in Greek language. The study was designed to linguistically validate the Greek version of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Ninety-nine healthy women and eighteen women with a sexual dysfunction were recruited through a survey and were asked to voluntarily complete the FSFI questionnaire in Greek (FSFI-Gr) at baseline and after 2 weeks. We assessed validity, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability of the FSFI greek version. Subscales of the FSFI showed good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's=0.92, P<0.01). Test-retest reliability median 14 days apart was excellent with intraclass coefficient 0.91 (P<0.01). The FSFI-Gr discriminated between women with and without sexual dysfunction with an optimal cutoff score 26 (sensitivity 71.4%, specificity 92.2%). The Greek version of the FSFI is a reliable tool for the assessment of female sexual dysfunction. The results show that it is comparable to the outcome of studies in English-speaking countries.
女性性功能障碍的临床评估应以经过验证的问卷作为补充；然而，希腊语中没有可用的特定工具。本研究旨在对希腊语版女性性功能指数（FSFI）进行语言验证。通过一项调查招募了99名健康女性和18名性功能障碍女性，并要求她们在基线时和2周后自愿完成希腊语版的FSFI问卷（FSFI-Gr）。我们评估了FSFI希腊语版的效度、内部一致性信度和重测信度。FSFI的各分量表显示出良好的内部一致性信度（克朗巴哈系数=0.92，P<0.01）。间隔14天的重测信度极佳，组内相关系数为0.91（P<0.01）。FSFI-Gr能够区分有和没有性功能障碍的女性，最佳截断分数为26（敏感性71.4%，特异性92.2%）。FSFI的希腊语版是评估女性性功能障碍的可靠工具。结果表明，它与英语国家的研究结果相当。
