“…However, previous research has implied a significant relationship between WAI and quality of life ( Milosevic et al, 2011 ). Furthermore, Maasoumi et al (2017) suggested that there is a significant relationship between the WAI and the sexual quality of life in men. A reason behind this may be the two-way relationship existing between the WAI and the quality of life and sexual quality of life.…”

There is limited information on the specific psychosocial risks at work that can impact sexual function. The general aim of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple dimensions of psychosocial work stressors on the male sexual function. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 153 male nurses working in two hospitals in Iran. Sexual function and psychosocial job stressors were measured using the Persian version of the International Index of Erectile Function (P-IIEF) and the Persian version of the Health and Safety Executive (P-HSE) Management Standards Indicator Tool. The Persian version of the Work Ability Index (P-WAI) was used to assess the mediating effect of work ability on the relationship between overall stress and subscales of sexual function. The data were analyzed using Pearson product–moment correlation, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple linear regressions. The subscales of psychosocial job stressors, especially the subscale of role, had a significant correlation with several domains of sexual function. The regression modeling indicated that the subscales of role and job demands were significant predictors of various domains of sexual function. The effect of overall stress on intercourse satisfaction was fully mediated by WAI. In the other indicators of sexual function, overall stress score had only a significant direct effect, not mediated by WAI. Intervention programs to improve sexual function should focus on increasing nurses’ involvement in making decisions related to jobs and on using ergonomic principles related to balancing job demands and the level of nurses’ capabilities.

Introduction: The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) is a patient-reported outcome measure to evaluate erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems in men. Aim: To perform a systematic review of the measurement properties of the 15-item patient-reported outcome measure (IIEF-15) and the shortened 5-item version (IIEF-5). Methods: A systematic search of scientific literature up to April 2018 was performed. Data were extracted and analyzed according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines for structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, hypothesis testing for construct validity, and responsiveness. Evidence of measurement properties was categorized into sufficient, insufficient, inconsistent, or indeterminate, and quality of evidence as very high, high, moderate, or low. Results: 40 studies were included. The evidence for criterion validity (of the Erectile Function subscale), and responsiveness of the IIEF-15 was sufficient (high quality), but inconsistent (moderate quality) for structural validity, internal consistency, construct validity, and test-retest reliability. Evidence for structural validity, testretest reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity of the IIEF-5 was sufficient (moderate quality) but indeterminate for internal consistency, measurement error, and responsiveness. Clinical Implications: Lack of evidence for and evidence not supporting some of the measurement properties of the IIEF-15 and IIEF-5 shows the importance of further research on the validity of these questionnaires in clinical research and clinical practice. Strengths & Limitations: A strength of the current review is the use of predefined guidelines (COSMIN). A limitation of this review is the use of a precise rather than a sensitive search filter regarding measurement properties to identify studies to be included. Conclusion: The IIEF requires more research on structural validity (IIEF-15), internal consistency (IIEF-15 and IIEF-5), construct validity (IIEF-15), measurement error (IIEF-15 and IIEF-5), and responsiveness (IIEF-5). The most pressing matter for future research is determining the unidimensionality of the IIEF-5 and the exact factor structure of the IIEF-15. Neijenhuijs KI, Holtmaat K, Aaronson NK, et al.

“…A total of 417 heart patients referred to the hospital during the one year of study were enrolled into the research. It should be noted that the sample size was 4-10 times more than the number of items in the questionnaire to analyze the factors structure [10]. Given the number of items in the questionnaire, the number of participants was suitable for evaluating its psychometric properties.…”

“…CFA allows models to be used both statistically and theoretically, which is not possible by conventional multivariate methods such as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) [16]. It should be noted that the appropriate sample size for factor analysis is 4 to 10 times more than the number of variables and at least 100 [10]. To determine the construct validity in the current investigation, the questionnaire was distributed among 417 heart patients with a history of exposure to dust.…”

“…The closer the values are to one, the more appropriate the model will be [17]. Additionally, RMSEA values less than 0.08 are considered to be appropriate and those less than 0.05 are regarded as good fit [10,15]. Finally, the GFI and AGFI values higher than 0.8 and 0.9 and the CFI values higher than 0.9 are considered to be appropriate [10,13].…”

Background: Many heart patients suffer from respiratory failures. It is necessary to prevent exposure to dust by taking educational steps to change the behaviors of heart patients.The present study aimed at developing and validating a dust prevention questionnaire based on the health belief model . Methods: A mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to design and develop the desired tool in 2018. The qualitative section of the research was performed to identify the preventive behaviors needed by cardiovascular patients when exposed to dust using the expert panel’s opinions and literature review. The quantitative section of the research was performed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the research tool. The research population included 417 people with heart diseases referred to a heart hospital in Bushehr, Iran. Results: The designed questionnaire included a total of 27 items divided into six domains, namely perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, perceived severity, perceived benefits, guidance of action, and self-efficacy. The means of Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) were 0.93 and 0.9, respectively. In addition, all designed items had good correlations with the total scores of their related domains. However, the model fit indices were not suitable. Hence, to fully fit the model to the data, it was tried to improve the model by releasing some parameters based on the modification indices suggested by AMOS software. The modified model had an acceptable fit . The results of Cronbach’s alpha coefficient also showed the appropriate reliability of all six domains. Conclusions: The designed questionnaire had desirable psychometric properties and appropriate validity to determine the factors involved in preventing dust complications in heart patients. Designing this questionnaire could also be considered as an effective step to evaluate the effective factors in preventing dust complications in patients with heart diseases .
