    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To report a linguistically validated French version of the PISQ-IR (the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire IUGA-Revised). METHODS: PISQ-IR is a valid, reliable, and responsive measure of sexual function in both sexually active or inactive women with pelvic floor disorders. Validation process was performed according the IUGA guidelines. The French version of the PISQ-IR was developed after two independent translations (English>French), one back translation (French>English), cognitive debriefing with a sample of 25 women with pelvic floor disorders attending the gynecologic clinic in the university hospital of Nîmes and a critical review by experts in the field of urogynecology and sexuality. RESULTS: The PISQ-IR is a self-administered questionnaire, which overcomes some shortcomings of the initial version. Questionnaire includes 20 questions, the first one to clarify sexual activity: part 1 of the questionnaire is for non-sexually active women and contains 5 questions and the second part is for sexually active women and contains 12 or 14 questions depending on whether or not the women has a partner. CONCLUSION: This paper reports the linguistically validated French version of the PISQ-IR. Psychometric validation of the French PISQ-IR is currently ongoing and when completed, the scoring system will be shortly published in addition to the definitive version of the questionnaire.
