Despite the wide use of the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) in several populations, the instrument has yet to be validated among patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the GRISS for the estimation of clinically relevant sexual dysfunction among type 2 diabetes patients under clinical management. This cross-sectional study was conducted among a total of 136 and 126 type 2 diabetic males and females, respectively, using GRISS for male and female. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and scores of discriminant validity were calculated. Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from 0.71 to 0.90 in total samples of males and females. The values obtained were similar between the chronic diabetic patients with self-reported sexual problems and normal samples. Test-retest reliability gave fair scaling results of 0.94 overall for males and 0.97 for females using Pearson's correlation coefficient. GRISS subscales differentiated multivariately between men ( = 19.308; = 0.000; eta = 0.721; power = 0.993) and women ( = 18.705; = 0.000; eta = 0.526; power = 0.928) with and without sexual problems. GRISS appears to be valuable and reliable for use among the Ghanaian population. Regular use of the GRISS for the screening of sexual problems among diabetic patients appears warranted.
尽管 Golombok-Rust 性满意度量表 (GRISS) 在多个群体中得到了广泛应用，但该量表尚未在 2 型糖尿病患者中得到验证。本研究旨在评估 GRISS 在评估临床管理下 2 型糖尿病患者临床相关性功能障碍方面的有效性和可靠性。这项横断面研究共纳入 136 名男性和 126 名女性 2 型糖尿病患者，分别使用 GRISS 评估男性和女性的性健康。计算了内部一致性、重测信度和判别有效性的分数。克朗巴赫的 α 系数在男性和女性的总样本中分别为 0.71 至 0.90。在有自我报告性问题的慢性糖尿病患者和正常样本中，得到的数值相似。使用 Pearson 相关系数，男性的重测信度总分为 0.94，女性为 0.97，均为良好的评分结果。GRISS 子量表在有和没有性问题的男性（ = 19.308； = 0.000； eta = 0.721； power = 0.993）和女性（ = 18.705； = 0.000； eta = 0.526； power = 0.928）之间进行了多元区分。GRISS 似乎在加纳人群中具有价值和可靠性。建议定期使用 GRISS 筛查糖尿病患者的性问题。
