AB  - PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable tool for evaluation of 
      sexual health assessment in infertile women. METHODS: This was a mixed 
      exploratory study consisting of two phases. At phase one, we reviewed the 
      existing instruments and interviewed 20 infertile women to generate an item pool. 
      Then, the research team examined items and invited a panel of experts (n = 15) 
      and a group of infertile women (n = 10) to review the items to establish content 
      and face validity. Accordingly, the provisional version of the questionnaire 
      containing 62 items was provided. At phase two, a cross-sectional study was 
      conducted to evaluate the questionnaire. The structural validity was examined by 
      performing exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency was estimated by the 
      Cornbach's alpha coefficient and test-retest analysis was performed to assess 
      stability. RESULTS: The final questionnaire consisted of 45 items and a total of 
      372 infertile women completed the questionnaire. The mean age of women was 30.8 
      (SD 6.0) years and this was 5.6 (SD 4.2) for duration of infertility. The results 
      obtained from exploratory factor analysis indicated a five-factor solution for 
      the questionnaire that jointly explained 51.39% of variance observed. At this 
      stage, 15 items were deleted due to low factor loading. The analysis of internal 
      consistency and stability yielded satisfactory results (Cronbach alpha: 0.93, ICC 
      0.97, respectively). Further analysis indicated that lower sexual health in 
      infertile women was associated with education (OR for primary education 2.61, 95% 
      CI 1.44-4.76, P = 0.002) and being housewife (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.15-4.83, 
      P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: The findings showed that the Sexual Health Assessment Tool 
      for Infertile Women (SEHAT-IW) is a reliable and valid instrument to assess 
      infertile women's sexual health.
