Sexual quality of life-female (SQOL-F) questionnaire

This questionnaire is the Persian version of the Sexual Quality of Life-Female (SQOL-F) questionnaire. The questionnaire was first designed in 1998 and reviewed and validated in 2005 by Symonds et al. [25]. The SQOL-F questionnaire is an 18-item scale rated on a 6-point Likert-type scale. Items 1, 5, 9, 13 and 18 in it should be graded in reverse. The minimum score obtained in this tool is 18 and the maximum 108. This questionnaire has four domains, including psychosexual feelings (including seven items: 2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 16, 17), sexual and relationship satisfaction (including five items: 1, 5, 9, 13, 18), self-worthlessness (includes three items: 4, 6, 15) and sexual repression (including three items: 11, 12, 14). The overall score of the sexual quality of life is more indicative of the desired quality of sexual life. According to the range of responses, a score up to 36 is classified as poor, a score of 37–72 as average, and 73–108 as good. Masoumi et al. translated and validated this questionnaire and reported its reliability as 0.777 using Cronbach’s alpha [15].
