Psychometric properties and qualitative evaluation of a Swedish translation of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale–Short (NSSS-S)

The Swedish NSSS-S displayed the expected bi-dimensional factor structure, high convergent validity in relation to the other available measure of sexual satisfaction and can be used with both partnered and single respondents. Qualitative evaluation indicated that the NSSS-S is generally seen to capture important elements of measuring sexual satisfaction but that it may not adequately capture experiences of situational and temporal variability in sexual satisfaction. The Swedish NSSS-S thus showed comparable psychometric and semantic properties to the original version and can be used to measure sexual satisfaction in a Swedish speaking population.
