Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Reports Findings in Sexual Medicine [Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Female Sexual Function Index-6 (FSFI-6) Bangla version].

A study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in Dhaka, Bangladesh, aimed to culturally adapt and validate the Bangla version of the Female Sexual Function Index-6 (FSFI-6). The FSFI-6 is a shortened version of the FSFI-19, designed for efficient screening of female sexual dysfunction in outpatient settings. The study involved 100 married, sexually active women aged 18 years and over, with 50 of them clinically diagnosed with sexual disorders. The results showed that the FSFI-6 Bangla version demonstrated good reliability and validity, making it a valuable tool for screening sexual dysfunction in females. However, the study had limitations, such as a nonrandomized sampling technique and being confined to a single institution. [Extracted from the article]
