“…Separate validation studies in different countries can also be conducted, as has been done in Malaysia. 58 The cutoff score of 21 on the SHIM was based on diagnostic evaluations of samples from populations in the United States and the United Kingdom. The cutoff score may be the same or differ somewhat in other populations.…”

“…57 Another study involved the validation of the SHIM for use in Malaysia, and its authors recommended its implementation in clinical practice and research. 58 Authors of one study applied Questions 1-4 on the SHIM (four items on erectile function) rather than all five SHIM items. 56 They partitioned ED into complete (r4), severe (5-10), moderate (11)(12)(13)(14), mild (15)(16)(17)(18), and none (19)(20).…”

The Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) is a widely used scale for screening and diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED) and severity of ED in clinical practice and research. In reviewing the SHIM-related literature, we sought to provide a compendium of studies in which the SHIM was used, to provide a systematic framework for organizing and evaluating the studies, and to provide a status report on the SHIM and its impact on the management of male sexual dysfunction. Using a Medline search, we found that the SHIM was an integral measure in at least 21 studies on the prevalence of ED, 23 studies on the efficacy of ED interventions, and eight other (mainly correlational) studies. The quantity of research and quality of scholarship on the SHIM provide testimony to its positive impact on understanding and improving male sexual function. These scientific contributions are likely to remain influential in coming years.

“…The valid questionnaire would be taken back as soon as the patients finished independently. The questionnaires included the brief male sexual function questionnaire (BSFI) [6], Chinese patients with premature ejaculation sexual function score (C-ISFPE) [7] and the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) [8]. The BSFI included 5 dimensions: sexual desires (2 entries), erectile functions (3 entries), ejaculatory functions (2 entries), awareness of sexual functions (3 entries) and overall satisfaction (1 entry).…”

Objective: To study the effects of comprehensive nursing interventions on sexual functions in young and middle-aged patients with coronary stent implantation. Methods: 96 cases of coronary stent implantation were randomly divided into control group and intervention group (experimental group) with each group of 48 cases. The control group received the routine nursing measures after the coronary stent implantation and the experimental group was treated by the comprehensive nursing interventions such as psychological nursing, education of sexual knowledge, playing the full enthusiasm of spouse and appropriate exercise therapy on basis of the routine nursing measures. The two groups were given the questionnaire of brief male sexual function questionnaire (BSFI), Chinese patients with premature ejaculation sexual function score (C-ISFPE) and the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5). The scores of BSFI, C-ISFPE and IIEF-5 were compared between the two groups. Results: There were 29 cases who were satisfied with sexual life on the whole (≤1), 26 cases with different degrees of premature ejaculation symptoms and 21 cases with erectile dysfunctions, which were respectively 27.08%, 30.2% and 21.87% of the total number. The scores of BSFI, C-ISFPE and IIEF-5 in the experimental group were significantly increased after the interventions (P < 0.05). The BSFI scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05) and the C-ISFPE and IIEF-5 scores in the two groups were significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The comprehensive nursing interventions can effectively improve the sexual functions and enhance the quality of life of young and middle-aged patients with coronary stent implantation.

IntroductionErectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the "inability to attain or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance".1 The prevalence of ED is increasing, and it is estimated that 322 million men worldwide will be affected by 2025, with the largest projected increase occurring in developing countries. 2 The prevalence of ED varies from 6.4-70.1%, and the wide variation is mainly due to the difference in assessment tools used, and the populations studied. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Physiologically, normal erection is maintained by a complex interplay between vascular and neurological events. Any condition that affects the vascular supply or the neuronal pathways to the penis, whether medical or psychological in origin, may cause ED. 1,9,10 Studies have shown that the prevalence of ED is significantly associated with age, the presence of co-morbid conditions and smoking. 3,4,6 Millions of men are affected by ED, often suffering in silence, while experiencing significant mental and psychological stress that affects their familial relationships and their social lives. AbstractBackground: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common amongst hypertensive men. Hypertensive patients often attribute it to antihypertensive drugs, although conflicting evidence linking ED with antihypertensive medication exists. The objectives were to determine the prevalence and severity of ED, the type of treatment sought, and the risk factors for ED among hypertensive men.
