| description | Introduction: Women's sexual self-efficacy is a crucial factor in the quality of couples' sexual relationships. Sexual self-efficacy reflects an individual's confidence in their ability to engage in a successful sexual relationship. Therefore, this research was conducted to investigate the validity and reliability of the sexual self-efficacy questionnaire for women in both clinical and non-clinical samples in Iran.Method: This research was applied (developmental) in terms of its purpose and survey method. After preparing the questionnaire, each participant from both the clinical and non-clinical samples completed scales assessing women's sexual self-efficacy, women's sexual performance, the multidimensional scale of women's sexual satisfaction, and a scale measuring anxiety, stress, and depression. This was done to evaluate convergent and divergent validity. A separate sample of 60 participants completed the women's sexual self-efficacy questionnaire twice, with an interval of one month between the assessments. The non-clinical sample consisted of 360 married women from the general population, selected using the Morgan table and available sampling methods. The clinical sample consisted of 60 married women who had sought assistance at medical centers for sexual issues and were selected through clinical interviews. Convergent validity, variance analysis, and factor analysis methods were employed to assess the validity of the questionnaire. Additionally, traditional methods of internal consistency, including Cronbach's alpha and dichotomization, were utilized to evaluate its reliability.Results: Data analysis indicated that premarital education, which focused on risk factors using a cognitive-behavioral approach, positively influenced the resilience and quality of life of the engaged couples. However, this beneficial effect was not observed in the control group.Discussion and conclusion: The research concludes that the validity and reliability of this scale for use among Iranian married women have been confirmed and supported by the evidence obtained. |
