“…In this study, good internal consistency values were found. Previous studies have also shown similar values of Cronbach's α on their subscales, ranging from 0.70 to 0.83 in the original version [4], 0.82 to 0.93 in the Persian version [9], and 0.71 to 0.92 in the Turkish version [8]. However, Banaei et al also assessed the composite reliability (CR) in their study, arguing this is a much more accurate and reliable assessment because, compared to Cronbach's α, it is not affected by the number of items and structure of the instrument.…”

“…The VPCQ was originally developed by Klaasen and Ter Kuile [4] in English, and they proved it was a reliable and valid instrument to assess cognitions about vaginal penetration in a Dutch population. Furthermore, Dogan et al [8] and Banaei et al [9] developed versions translated into Turkish and Persian, respectively.…”

“…The Vaginal Penetration Cognition Questionnaire (VPCQ) is a 22-item instrument originally developed in English that has been previously validated [4] and translated into other languages, such as Turkish [8] and Persian [9]. However, to the best of our knowledge, a validated translated Spanish version of the VPCQ is lacking, limiting its use by clinicians in Spanish-speaking communities.…”

(1) Background: To develop an instrument in Spanish to assess beliefs and feelings about vaginal penetration and assess its psychometric properties. (2) Methods: This study translated and adapted the Vaginal Penetration Cognition Questionnaire into Spanish, and a total of 225 women who suffered from Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder were included in the study. The psychometric properties, including construct, convergent and discriminant validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency of the translated version were assessed. (3) Results: The Spanish version of the Vaginal Penetration Cognition Questionnaire is a valid, reliable, and consistent tool to assess beliefs and thoughts about vaginal penetration in women suffering from Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder. The exploratory factor analysis yielded four domains that explained 62.5% of the variance. Convergent and discriminant validity was also confirmed. Test–retest reliability was high, with an intraclass correlation coefficient value of 0.90, a standard error of measurement of 4.21, and a minimal detectable change of 11.66 points. Every domain also showed good internal consistency levels, with Cronbach’s α values ranging from 0.84 to 0.89. (4) Conclusion: The Spanish version of the Vaginal Penetration Cognition Questionnaire is a valid, reliable, and consistent tool to assess vaginal penetration cognition in women suffering from Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder.

“…This relationship demonstrates the perceived importance of control components (15). Increased fear of losing control during vaginal penetration in women with GPPPD (16) can reduce perceived penetration control and increase catastrophic pain recognition (17). A study on Iranian women with lifelong vaginismus showed that these women have similar experiences to women with sexual pain disorders (18).…”

Background: Genital misconceptions can lead to sex avoidance in women with genital pelvic pain and penetration disorder (GPPPD). Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the sexual cognition of Iranian women with GPPPD. Methods: This comparative analytical descriptive study was performed on 200 GPPPD and non-GPPPD Iranian women who referred to women’s clinics in Hormozgan province in 2021. In this study, availability samples were used, and data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and a localized vaginal penetration cognitive questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, and the significance level was assumed to be 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 29.14±5.44 years. Mean scores for negative self-images, and catastrophic and control cognition were higher in the GPPPD group compared to the non-GPPPD group (P<0.001), while the mean scores of positive cognitions in the GPPPD group were lower (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that the beliefs and knowledge of women with GPPD should be corrected to promote their sexual health. Interventions should be designed to meet the needs of this group to improve sexual relationships and avoid sexual tension.
