This study aimed to develop the Partner Version of the Self-Efficacy to Communicate about Sex and Intimacy (SECSI-PV) scale.
Candidate items derived from the patient version of the instrument were refined with input from an expert panel specializing in sexual health, psychosocial oncology, and instrument development ( = 6). Partners ( = 17) of female cancer survivors participated in cognitive interviews to assess the revised scale's content validity.
Transcripts were analyzed qualitatively. Participants endorsed the items as relevant, clear, and appropriate.
The present work illustrates the iterative development of the SECSI-PV scale. The study highlights the importance of including partners in sexual health discussions and emphasizes the need for psychosocial interventions supporting partners' confidence communicating about sexuality and intimacy. Additional research is recommended to validate the instrument in larger samples encompassing cancer types that are not sex-based and partners from diverse backgrounds, including sexual and gender minority groups.
本研究旨在开发性与亲密关系沟通自我效能感伴侣版（SECSI-PV）量表。
从该工具的患者版中衍生出的候选条目，在专门从事性健康、心理社会肿瘤学和量表开发的专家小组（n = 6）的参与下进行了完善。女性癌症幸存者的伴侣（n = 17）参与了认知访谈，以评估修订后量表的内容效度。
对访谈记录进行了定性分析。参与者认可这些条目相关、清晰且恰当。
本研究展示了SECSI-PV量表的迭代开发过程。该研究强调了在性健康讨论中纳入伴侣的重要性，并强调需要开展心理社会干预，以增强伴侣在谈论性与亲密关系时的信心。建议开展更多研究，在更大样本中验证该工具，样本应涵盖非性别特异性癌症类型以及来自不同背景（包括性少数群体和性别少数群体）的伴侣。
