Abstract: (184 Views)
Objectives: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the sexual mindfulness questionnaire in the Iranian population. Despite the importance of sexual mindfulness in the sexual satisfaction of couples. There is no suitable tool to measure this component in the Iranian population. Therefore, it seems necessary to have a valid and reliable scale to measure this construct in research.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at 2022-2023 and included 366 married individuals. The Sexual Mindfulness Questionnaire, Trait Mindfulness Questionnaire, and Sexual Functioning Questionnaire were used to achieve the research objectives. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-25 and AMOS software. Descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation, frequency, and correlation were used in the descriptive statistics section. Additionally, inferential statistics including regression analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were reported.
Results: The results indicated that consistent with the original version, this questionnaire consisted of two factors: awareness and non-judgment. The findings of the convergent validity section showed that this questionnaire had a positive and significant correlation with sexual functioning and trait mindfulness. Cronbach's alpha was 0.83 for sexual awareness and 0.71 for non-judgment.
Conclusion: The Persian version of the sexual mindfulness questionnaire has suitable psychometric properties. The Persian version of the sexual mindfulness questionnaire can be used in research and clinical fields related to sexual functioning and mindfulness. Also, therapists should pay attention to sexual mindfulness as an important factor to improve the sexual function of clients and they can use this tool for therapeutic purposes.
