Table 5 SEXSAT scoring algorithm, number of items and descriptive statistics by dimension
Dimension | Shorthand | items | Scoring Algorithm | Mean | SD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Satisfaction with sexual relations | SR | 3 | SR = (X1 + X10 + X14) × 8.33 | 56.6 | 23.7 |
Loss of sex drive | SDr | 3 | SDr = 100 – (X11 + X12 + X13) × 8.33 | 51.1 | 34.4 |
Body image | BI | 3 | BI = 100 – (X7 + X8 + X9) × 8.33 | 76.8 | 27.3 |
Psychological coping | PCo | 3 | PCo = 100 – (X2 + X3 + X6) × 8.33 | 59.4 | 26.7 |
Discomfort during intercourse | DI | 2 | DI = 100 – (X4 + X5) × 12.5 | 66.5 | 30.2 |
Reconstruction | RE | 3 | RE = (X15 + X16 + X17) × 8.33 | 53.7 | 29.0 |
Full scale | TOT | 17 | TOT = (SR + SDr + BI + PCo + DI + RE) / 6 | 59.0 | 21.5 |
Full scale without reconstruction | TOT2 | 14 | TOT2 = (SR + SDr + BI + PCo + DI) / 5 | 62.0 | 20.0 |
