BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The adaptation and validation of measures to assess Sexual Distress (SD) are crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Spanish Sexual Distress Scale (SDS) in a Colombian sample and provide a percentile ranking score for a comprehensive understanding of sexual distress among the population.
Five hundred ninety-six people from Colombia (50.08 % women; 49.92 % men) aged 18-60 participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses and a convergent validity analysis were performed.
The SDS showed a high internal consistency (Ω = .95, α = .94) and a unidimensional model. Significative correlations were found between the SDS and related measures with sexual functioning, further supporting its convergent validity.
The SDS is a valid and reliable measure to evaluate SD in Colombians, with implications for clinical practice and sexual health research. More investigations are needed to address the limitations, strengthen the validity and reliability of the scale, and develop specific interventions based on its results.
背景/目的：评估性困扰（SD）的测量方法的改编和验证对于性功能障碍的诊断和治疗至关重要。本研究旨在对西班牙性困扰量表（SDS）在哥伦比亚样本中进行改编和验证，并提供百分位排名分数，以全面了解人群中的性困扰情况。
596名年龄在18至60岁之间的哥伦比亚人（50.08%为女性；49.92%为男性）参与了该研究。进行了探索性和验证性因子分析以及收敛效度分析。
SDS显示出较高的内部一致性（Ω = 0.95，α = 0.94）和单维模型。在SDS与性功能相关测量之间发现了显著相关性，进一步支持了其收敛效度。
SDS是评估哥伦比亚人性困扰的有效且可靠的测量方法，对临床实践和性健康研究具有启示意义。需要更多研究来解决局限性，加强量表的效度和信度，并根据其结果制定具体干预措施。
