背景:更年期女性的性满意度概念与绝经前女性的性满意度概念有很大不同,这种差异是由于衰老和身体,荷尔蒙,文化,和心理变化。因此,发现评估绝经后妇女性满意度的方法的第一步是开发一种测量仪器。进行这项研究是为了开发和评估绝经后妇女的性满意度工具的心理测量特性。
方法:本研究是一项探索性-序贯混合方法研究项目,将分为定性和定量两部分。与研究的主要目标一致,阐明了绝经后女性性满足的概念,将采用Schwartz和Kim开发的混合概念分析模型。该模型包括三个关键阶段:理论阶段,实地考察阶段,最后的分析阶段。那些符合纳入标准并在年龄方面表现出最大差异的人,教育水平,就业状况,和绝经持续时间被招募。传统的内容分析将按照Graneheim和Lundman提出的步骤进行。第二,在定量阶段,对仪器的心理测量特性进行了评估,包括内容,通过内部一致性和稳定性来面对并构建效度和信度。COSMIN检查表中描述的心理测量特性将用于设计仪器。
结论:应制定有效可靠的绝经后妇女性满意度量表,和教育内容应该设计成提高这部分女性的性满意度。
更年期是一种自然事件,伴随着许多生理和心理变化,在绝经后妇女的生活中创造了一个复杂的时期。性满意度是与人类性行为有关的组成部分,被称为性反应周期的最后阶段。性满意度定义为对性关系中积极和消极事物的心理评估所产生的情绪反应。性生活满意度是影响婚姻生活满意度的重要因素之一。有性满意度的人的生活质量明显优于没有性满意度的人。更年期女性的性满意度概念与绝经前女性有很大不同,这种差异是由于衰老和身体,荷尔蒙,文化,和心理变化。性满意度对研究人员来说很重要,原因有两个。首先,性满意度提供了一种评估关系伴侣表现的机制。第二,性满意度是关系其他方面的预测指标,比如婚姻质量和稳定性。探讨绝经后妇女获得性满足的感受和方法,有必要了解影响该群体性满意度和不满意度的因素。女性性满意度领域的现有工具不是针对该年龄组(更年期女性)设计的,并且没有必要的全面性和充分性来评估更年期女性的性满意度。因此,本研究旨在开发和评估绝经后妇女性满意度的心理测量特性。
BACKGROUND: The concept of sexual satisfaction in menopausal women is very different from that in premenopausal women, and this difference is due to aging and physical, hormonal, cultural, and psychological changes. Therefore, the first step in discovering methods for assessing sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women is to develop a measurement instrument. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a sexual satisfaction instrument for postmenopausal women.
METHODS: The current study is an exploratory-sequential mixed-methods research project that will be divided into two parts: qualitative and quantitative. Aligned with the primary objective of the research, which is to elucidate the concept of sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women, the hybrid concept analysis model developed by Schwartz and Kim will be employed. This model comprises three key phases: the theoretical phase, the fieldwork phase, and the final analytical phase. Those who met the inclusion criteria and exhibited maximum variance in terms of age, educational level, employment status, and menopausal duration were recruited. The conventional content analysis will be carried out following the steps proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Second, in the quantitative phase, the psychometric properties of the instrument were evaluated, including the content, face and construct validity and reliability via internal consistency and stability. The psychometric properties described in the COSMIN checklist will be utilized for designing the instrument.
CONCLUSIONS: A valid and reliable scale for evaluating the sexual satisfaction of postmenopausal women should be developed, and educational content should be designed to improve the sexual satisfaction of this group of women.
Menopause is a natural event that is accompanied by numerous physical and psychological changes that create a complex period in the life of postmenopausal women. Sexual satisfaction is a component related to human sexuality and is known as the last stage of the sexual response cycle. Sexual satisfaction is defined as the emotional response resulting from the mental evaluation of positive and negative things in a sexual relationship. Sexual satisfaction is one of the important factors of satisfaction in married life. People who have sexual satisfaction have a significantly better quality of life than those who do not have sexual satisfaction. The concept of sexual satisfaction in menopausal women is very different from that in premenopausal women, and this difference is due to aging and physical, hormonal, cultural, and psychological changes. Sexual satisfaction is important for researchers for two reasons. First, sexual satisfaction provides a mechanism through which to assess a relationship partner\'s performance. Second, sexual satisfaction is a predictor of other aspects of the relationship, such as marital quality and stability. To discuss feelings and discover methods for achieving sexual satisfaction in postmenopausal women, it is necessary to understand the factors affecting sexual satisfaction and dissatisfaction in this group. The existing tools in the field of women\'s sexual satisfaction are not designed for this age group (menopausal women) and do not have the necessary comprehensiveness and adequacy to assess sexual satisfaction in menopausal women. Therefore, this study will be conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the sexual satisfaction of postmenopausal women.
