STUDY DESIGN: Questionnaire development, validation and completion. OBJECTIVES: Develop comprehensive survey of sexuality issues including validated self-report versions of the International @entity1566 male sexual function and female sexual and reproductive function basic data sets (SR-iSCI-sexual function). SETTING: @entity1 with @entity602 ( @entity602 ) living in the community, Australia from August 2013 to June 2014. METHODS: An iterative process involving rehabilitation medicine clinicians, a nurse specialising in sexuality issues in @entity602 and @entity1 with @entity602 who developed a comprehensive survey that included the SR-iSCI-sexual function. @entity1 recruitment through spinal rehabilitation review clinic and community organisations that support @entity1 with @entity602 . RESULTS: Surveys completed by 154 @entity1 . Most were male (n=101, 65.6%). Respondents' median age was 50 years (interquartile range (IQR) 38-58), and they were a median of 10 years (IQR 4-20) after the onset of @entity602 . Sexual problems unrelated to @entity602 were reported by 12 (8%) respondents, and 114 (n=75.5%) reported sexual problems because of @entity602 . Orgasms were much less likely (  (2)=13.1, P=0.006) to be normal in males (n=5, 5%) compared with females (n=11, 22%). Males had significantly worse (  (2)=26.0, P=0.001) psychogenic genital functioning (normal n=9, 9%) than females (normal n=13, 26%) and worse (  (2)=10.8, P=0.013) reflex genital functioning. Normal ejaculation was reported in only three (3%) @entity1 . Most (n=26, 52%) @entity1 reported reduced or absent menstruation pattern since @entity602 . CONCLUSION: The SR-iSCI-sexual function provides a useful tool for researchers and clinicians to collect information regarding @entity1 -reported sexual functioning after @entity602 and to facilitate comparative studies.Spinal Cord advance online publication, 8 December 2015; doi:10.1038/sc.2015.216.
