“…The internal consistency of the partner-related scale was lower than that of the total score and both the behavioral-emotive scale and the physical scale, even after correction for item 12. This was also found in previous translations of the PISQ-12 [ 15 , 10 ]. It should be noted that the partner-related scale evaluates the physical sexual function related to the partner.…”

“…Cronbach’s alpha was 0.69 in the patient group and 0.57 in the reference group. Other studies validating the PISQ-12 in different languages have shown higher Cronbach’s alpha values, ranging from 0.71 to 0.79 [ 15 , 13 , 14 , 10 ]. The lower value found in this study originated from the partner-related item scale, probably due to the alteration of item 12.…”

“…The International Continence Society recommends this questionnaire (with grade A) to assess sexual function with urinary symptoms [ 8 ]. In recent years the PISQ-12 has been validated in different languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, Persian, Portuguese, Swedish and Turkish [ 9 – 15 ]. The increased awareness of sexual dysfunction in association with PFD strengthens the need for a validated Dutch measurement tool for sexual function [ 16 ].…”

Objectives and hypothesisTo establish the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) in women with pelvic floor dysfunction.MethodsThe PISQ-12 was translated into Dutch following a standardized translation process. A group of 124 women involved in a heterosexual relationship who had had symptoms of urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse for at least 3 months were eligible for inclusion. A reference group was used for assessment of discriminative ability. Data were analyzed for internal consistency, reproducibility, construct validity, responsiveness, and interpretability. An alteration was made to item 12 and was corrected for during the analysis.ResultsThe patient group comprised 70 of the 124 eligible women, and the reference group comprised 208 women from a panel representative of the Dutch female population. The Dutch PISQ-12 showed an adequate internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.57 – 0.69, increasing with correction for item 12 to 0.69 – 0.75, for the reference and patient group, respectively. Scores in the patient group were lower (32.6 ± 6.9) than in the reference group (36.3 ± 4.8; p = 0.0001), indicating a lower sexual function in the patient group and good discriminative ability. Reproducibility was excellent with an intraclass correlation coefficient for agreement of 0.93 (0.88 – 0.96). A positive correlation was found with the Short Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) measure representing good criterion validity. Due to the small number of patients who had received treatment at the 6-month follow-up, no significant responsiveness could be established.ConclusionsThis study showed that the Dutch version of the PISQ-12 has good validity and reliability. The PISQ-12 will enable Dutch physicians to evaluate sexual dysfunction in women with pelvic floor disorders.

“…The PISQ-12 is a reliable, validated and easily applicable form of questionnaire and enables an evaluation of women's sexual functions [9]. We used a Turkish translation of the PISQ-12 to assess sexual functions [10]. We applied the POP-Q scoring system as defined by the International Continence Society [11].…”

A comparison of pelvic organ prolapse and sexual function after abdominal and laparoscopic hysterectomy

Objectives: Hysterectomy is one of the risk factors of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). There is no consensus on whether the route of hysterectomy affects the subsequent development of POP. The aim of the study was to assess POP and sexual function 1 year after a hysterectomy when comparing total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). The study applied the pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) as the measure of POP and a short-form of the POP/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ-12). Material and methods: All patients that underwent either TAH or TLH due to benign causes between March 2016 and March 2017 at the tertiary hospital used for the study were included in our prospective cohort study. POP-Q measurements and PISQ-12 scores were assessed 1 year postoperatively. Results: We included 182 patients in the clinical examinations. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic characteristics between the TAH and TLH groups. Also, there we no differences observed in the objective POP measurements between the two study groups. Results of the two groups' PISQ-12 scores were also similar. However, postoperative vaginal lengths were found to be significantly shorter in the patients who had undergone TAH compared with those who had undergone TLH. Conclusions: TAH and TLH are comparable regarding short-term objective pelvic organ prolapse. Although we found statistically a significant difference in vaginal lengths between the two groups, no clinical significance was found in terms of sexual function.

Objective:This retrospective research was planned to investigate the effect of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) type on sexual function, muscle strength, and pelvic floor symptoms in symptomatic women.Materials and Methods:Data on POP type and stages as assessed using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification system of 721 women who presented to the women’s health unit between 2009 and 2016 were collected retrospectively. POP types were recorded as asymptomatic, anterior, apical, and posterior compartment prolapses. Sexual function was assessed using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire short-form (PISQ-12), pelvic floor muscle strength was assessed through vaginal pressure measurement, and pelvic floor symptoms and quality of life were assessed using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20).Results:Among 168 women who met the inclusion criteria, 96 had anterior compartment prolapses, 20 had apical compartment prolapses, 16 had posterior compartment prolapses, and 36 women were asymptomatic. There was no difference between the groups in their PISQ-12 total and subscales scores, PFDI-20 total and two subscale (colorectal/anal, urinary) scores, and muscle strength (p>0.05). In the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6, another subscale of PFDI-20, it was determined that there was a difference between asymptomatic women and those with anterior compartment prolapses (p=0.044) and apical compartment prolapses (p=0.011).Conclusion:This research found that POP type did not affect sexual function, muscle strength, and colorectal and urinary symptoms in our cohort. There were more prolapse symptoms and complaints in women with anterior and apical compartment prolapses.
