This paper provides an integrative review of psychometric instruments targeting sexual function and clinical measures of sexuality available to the Brazilian population. Our aim was to summarize the existing measures, indicating current development needs related to the quality of psychometric evidence, research design and untapped theoretical ground that could be relevant for clinical practice and research in sexuality. Electronic databases were searched. Additional records were found through a manual search. The general search terms and operators were (scale OR inventory OR questionnaire) AND (validation) AND (sexual beliefs OR sexuality OR sexual behavior OR sexual function OR sexual satisfaction) AND (Brazil or Brazilian). The results indicate a total of 18 developed or transculturally adapted and/or validated scales and questionnaires available in Brazilian Portuguese, covering sexual dysfunctions and clinical measures. Despite development, adaptation and validation efforts, there is a critical need for better psychometric and sampling strategies as well as norms for the clinical interpretation of test results. Ecological validity is also a challenge. At present, sexual assessments in Brazil offer some useful information, but reaching the applied clinical field remains a challenge.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2035869 .
本文对针对巴西人群的性健康功能的心理计量学工具和性临床测量方法进行了综合回顾。我们旨在总结现有的方法，指出与心理计量证据质量、研究设计和未开发的理论基础相关的当前发展需求，这些需求可能与性健康的临床实践和研究相关。我们检索了电子数据库，并通过手动搜索额外找到了一些记录。一般的检索词和运算符是（scale 或 inventory 或 questionnaire）AND（validation）AND（sexual beliefs 或 sexuality 或 sexual behavior 或 sexual function 或 sexual satisfaction）AND（Brazil 或 Brazilian）。结果表明，共有 18 种用葡萄牙语开发或跨文化适应和/或验证的量表和问卷，涵盖了性功能障碍和临床测量。尽管进行了开发、适应和验证工作，但仍迫切需要更好的心理计量学和抽样策略，以及临床解释测试结果的规范。生态有效性也是一个挑战。目前，巴西的性评估提供了一些有用的信息，但要达到应用的临床领域仍然是一个挑战。本文的补充数据可在 https://doi.org/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2035869 在线获取。
