VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY TEST OF THE INDONESIAN VERSION OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SEXUAL SELF-CONCEPT QUESTIONNAIRE
Abstract
Background: One comprehensive instrument for assessing different facets of sexual self-concept is the Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (MSSCQ). Its adaptation into different languages and cultural contexts is essential for cross-cultural research. Objectives: To assess the reliability and validity of the MSSCQ's Indonesian version in gauging sexual self-concept. Design: Observational research with a cross-sectional design. Methods: The study began with a two-stage translation process of the MSSCQ questionnaire into the Indonesian version. Subsequently, validity and reliability tests were conducted on 30 diabetes mellitus outpatients at Tanjungpura University Hospital using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation with statistical software. Results: All items across the 20 subscales demonstrated validity with r calculated > r table and p-values < 0.05. The Cronbach's Alpha values for all subscales were > 0.70, indicating good internal consistency. Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the MSSCQ is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring sexual self-concept.Downloads
