Résumé
To translate and to validate the Postmenopause Sexuality Questionnaire (PMSQ) for Turkish women in the climacteric. The study included 356 menopausal women with a mean age of 60.2 ± 7.6 years. First, the demographic characteristics and obstetric information of the women were recorded. Then, the PMSQ was adapted into Turkish. In order to determine the sexual activity and menopause-specific quality of life, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), The Menopause Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL), and the PMSQ were administered. The reliability and validity of the PMSQ were assessed with internal consistency, test-retest, and criterion validity analyses. According to the results of the study, the internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.97) and test-retest reliability (r = 0.95) of the PMSQ were found to be high (P < 0.001). Criterion validity was established based on the relationship of PMSQ scores with FSFI (r = 0.76; P < 0.001) and MENQOL (r = -0.47, P < 0.001) scores. According to this study, it was determined that the Turkish version of the PMSQ can be a valid and reliable scale to evaluate sexual activity in Turkish menopausal women.
