Background: to develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Postpartum Sexual Quality of Life Scale (PSQLS) in Iran.
Methods: We employed a mixed-method approach. In the qualitative phase (17 interviews and two focus groups), we generated items for the scale. In the quantitative phase (N=282), we assessed the psychometric properties of the pre-final version.
Results: The final version contained 22 items. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a 5-factor solution that jointly accounted for 59.6% of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.87.
Conclusion: The PSQLS showed good validity and reliability and could be used to evaluate women’s postpartum sexual life.
