Resumo
Atualmente, o sofrimento sexual é considerado uma variável importante e um dos critérios essenciais para a avaliação de disfunção sexual feminina (DSF), que contribui para o seu desenvolvimento e manutenção. O presente estudo teve como objetivo adaptar e validar a Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised numa amostra de mulheres portuguesas. Método: Foi recolhida uma amostra de 567 participantes com e sem problemas sexuais, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 68 anos (M = 30.99). As participantes responderam a um conjunto de questionários online, especificamente: Questionário Introdutório Geral, Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised, Índice de Funcionamento Sexual Feminino e Inventário de Satisfação Sexual de Golombok Rust. Resultados: Os resultados indicaram que a versão portuguesa da FSDS-R avalia o domínio do sofrimento sexual, sendo apoiada a validade fatorial da escala. A FSDS-R demonstrou altos níveis de consistência interna e moderada confiabilidade teste-reteste. Níveis elevados de sofrimento sexual foram associados a menor funcionamento sexual (rs = -.54, p < .001), bem como a menor satisfação sexual (rs = .51, p < .001). Não foi encontrada associação entre o sofrimento sexual e a idade (p = .309). No entanto, a FSDS-R foi capaz de discriminar mulheres com e sem sofrimento sexual (p < .001). Conclusões: A FSDS-R apresenta boas propriedades psicométricas para a população feminina portuguesa, assemelhando-se ao estudo de validação original, bem como às validações realizadas em diferentes países. Evidencia assim ser capaz de discriminar os níveis de sofrimento sexual presentes em mulheres com e sem problemas sexuais.

Currently, sexual distress is considered an important variable and one of the essential criteria for the assessment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), which contributes to its development and maintenance. The present study aimed to adapt and validate the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised in a sample of Portuguese women. Method: A sample of 567 participants with and without sexual problems, aged between 18 and 68 years (M = 30.99) was collected. Participants completed a range of online questionnaires, specifically: General Introductory Questionnaire, Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised, Female Sexual Functioning Index and Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Inventory, respectively. Results: The results indicated that the Portuguese version of the FSDS-R assesses a domain of sexual distress, supporting the factorial validity of the scale. The FSDS-R demonstrated high levels of internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability. High levels of sexual distress were associated with lower sexual functioning (rs = -.54, p < .001) as well as lower sexual satisfaction (rs = .51, p < .001). No association was found between sexual distress and age (p = .309). However, the FSDS-R was able to discriminate between women with and without sexual distress (p < .001). Conclusion: The FSDS-R has good psychometric properties for the Portuguese female population, like the original validation study, as well as the validations carried out in different countries. It thus demonstrates being able to discriminate the levels of sexual suffering present in women with and without sexual problems.
