Development of PROMIS SexFS Instrument
Using a consensus-driven approach, we conducted a literature search for articles published from 1991–2007 that reported the administration of a self-reported measure of sexual function in a cancer population; see Jeffery 2009 for detail.6 (link) Based on this literature review, we developed a preliminary conceptual model to reflect domains to be included in the measures: interest in sexual activity, lubrication, vaginal discomfort, erectile function, orgasm, anal discomfort, frequency of sexual activity, and sexual satisfaction. We categorized more than 1100 items from existing measures into these domains and selected ~50 clinically relevant items for further testing.
Item banks are dynamic and can incorporate extant items on the same scoring metric. We incorporated into the PROMIS SexFS some items that are publically available or for which the copyright holders granted permission. Thus, some PROMIS SexFS instruments include modified items from other sexual function instruments (e.g., UCLA-Prostate Cancer Index,12 (link) Female Sexual Function Index [FSFI]13 (link)).

International Index of Erectile Function
The International Index of Erectile Function was developed and validated by Rosen et
al14 (link), with the purpose to
create a short and reproducible questionnaire to measure the erectile function that
is culturally, linguistically and psychometrically valid. The instrument could also
be used by doctors and researchers in therapeutic clinical trials as another
assessment parameter of efficacy/effectiveness for the several interventions
currently proposed22 . It is worth
noting that IIFE was developed for exclusive use in relationship between men and
their partners26 (link).
The questionnaire consists of 15 questions, grouped in five domains: erectile
function, orgasm, sexual desire, sexual satisfaction and general satisfaction. Each
question has a value ranging from 1 to 5, and the sum of the answers results in the
final score for each domain, with low values indicating a bad quality sex life.
Capelleri et al26 (link) suggest the ED
can be classified in five categories, as of the erectile function domain, ranging
from a minimum score of 6 to a maximum of 30, for sexually active patients, according
to Table 2.

Childhood Psychiatric and Family Hardships Assessment
All childhood psychiatric and family hardships variables (except where indicated) were assessed by parent and self-report using the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment (CAPA)20 (link). The timeframe for the CAPA was the 3 months immediately preceding the interview.
Childhood psychiatric variables included the same anxiety and depressive disorders as in adulthood, behavioral disorders (conduct disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder) and any substance abuse or dependence. Subjects were positive for a diagnosis if they met full DSM-IV criteria for the disorder at any childhood assessment. Childhood suicidality was assessed as it was during young adulthood.
Four types of family hardships were assessed: low socioeconomic status (SES), unstable family structure, family dysfunction, and maltreatment. Low SES was positive if the child's family met 2 or more of the following conditions: below the US federal poverty line based upon family size and income, parental high school education only, or low parental occupational prestige26 . Unstable family structure was positive if child's family met 2 or more of the following conditions: single parent structure, step-parent in household, divorce, parental separation, or change in parent structure. Family dysfunction was positive if child's family met 5 or more of the following conditions: inadequate parental supervision of child's free time, over-involvement of the parent into the child's activities in an age-inappropriate manner, physical violence between parents, top 20% in terms of frequency of parental arguments, marital relationship characterized by absence of affection, apathy, or indifference, child is upset by or actively involved in arguments between parents, mother scores in elevated range on depression questionnaire, top 20% in terms of frequency of arguments between parent and child, and most parental activities are source of tension or worry for the child. Maltreatment was positive if child or parent reported that the child had been physically abused (subject victim of intentional physical violence by family member), sexually abused (subject involved in activities for purposes of perpetrators sexual gratification including kissing, fondling, oral-genital, oral-anal, genital or anal intercourse), or neglected by parents (caregiver unable to meet child's need for food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical attention or safety).

Validating the STAR Questionnaire for Prostate Cancer Outcomes
Our initial aim was to investigate the validity of the STAR questionnaire to assess functional outcomes following radical prostatectomy. For assessment of internal consistency within domains, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated for all domains of the questionnaire, except overall quality of life, which is a single-item measure.
To assess instrument validity, we evaluated the association between survey responses and known predictors of sexual and urinary function. To account for men who completed more than one survey, we used multivariable generalized estimating equations. Pre-specified predictors included time from surgery, age at surgery, nerve sparing status (none, unilateral or bilateral), comorbidities (0, 1 or >1). Separate models were built for the outcomes of urinary and sexual function. For these analyses, sexual and urinary function domains were rescaled to a 0 - 100 range, in order to allow direct comparison. To account for a possible non-linear relationship between recovery of function and either time from surgery or age, we included non-linear terms (restricted cubic splines with knots at the tertiles). We hypothesized that valid measures of erectile and urinary function would show decreasing scores with age and comorbidity, and increasing scores with time from surgery, and nerve sparing surgery.
We also compared the surgeon and patient-reported assessments of function. We restricted this analysis to occasions when the patient- and physician-reported assessment where within six weeks of one another. We used the first eligible assessment time for patients with more than one time point for which both patient- and physician reported data were available. Physician-reported erectile and urinary function are on a five point scale. Sexual function was defined as physician-assessed score of 1 or 2 (normal, full erections or full, but diminished erections satisfactory for sexual activity); continence as classified as physician-assessment of 1 (no pads). All analyses were conducted using Stata 11.0 (Stata Corp., College Station, Texas).

Evaluating Self-Compassion, Body Image, and Mindful Eating Behaviors

Participant information sheet. Participants were asked to report their age, gender, height, weight, ethnicity, smoking and exercise engagement.
The Sussex-Oxford Compassion for the Self (SOCS-S; Gu et al., 2020 (link)) is a 20-item scale containing 5 sub-scales (Recognising suffering; Understanding the universality of suffering; Feeling for the person suffering; Tolerating uncomfortable feelings; Acting or being motivated to act to alleviate suffering). Total scores were calculated and used within the analysis; with the higher the score meaning higher levels of self-compassion. Responses were recorded using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Not at all true, 2 = Rarely true, 3 = Sometimes true, 4 = Often true, 5 = Always true), sample items include: “I notice when I’m feeling distressed” and “I connect with my own suffering without judging myself”. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to assess the scale reliability for the SOCS-S in the present research (α = 0.95, ω = 0.95).
The Body Image Acceptance and Action Questionnaire -5 (BI-AAQ-5; Basarkod, Sahdra & Ciarrochi, 2018 (link)) is a short form of the Body image – Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (BI-AAQ-5) which aims to assess body image acceptance. Total scores were calculated and used within the analysis; with a higher score meaning lower levels of body-acceptance (or higher levels of body non-acceptance). The BI-AAQ-5 is a 5-item scale where responses are recorded using a 7-point Likert scale (1 = Always true and 7 = Never true). Sample items include: “Worrying about my weight makes it difficult for me to live a life that I value” and “I shut down when I feel bad about my body shape or weight”. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to assess the scale reliability for the BI-AAQ in the present research (α = 0.92, ω = 0.92).
The Dresden Body Image Questionnaire (DBIQ; Scheffers et al., 2017 ) is a 35-item questionnaire with positively and negatively worded statements comprising of five subscales (Body Acceptance, Vitality, Physical Contact, Sexual Fulfilment and Self-aggrandizement). The DBIQ aims to assess body image, with higher scores meaning higher levels of a more positive perception of body image; total scores were calculated and used within the analysis. Responses were recorded using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Not at all true, 2 = Rarely true, 3 = Sometimes true, 4 = Often true, 5 = Always true), sample items include: “I wish I had a different body” and “I use my body to attract attention”. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to assess the scale reliability for the BDIQ in the present research (α = 0.91, ω = 0.91).
The Mindful Eating Behaviour Scale (MEBS; Winkens et al., 2018 (link)) is a 20-item scale, and has 5 subscales (Focused Eating, Eating with Awareness, Eating without Distraction, Hunger and Satiety Cues). Total scores were calculated and used within the analysis; with a higher score meaning higher levels of mindful eating. Responses were recorded using a 4-point Likert scale (1 = Never to 4 = Usually), sample items include: “I wish I could control my eating more easily” and “I trust my body to tell me when to eat”. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were used to assess the scale reliability for the MEBS in the present research (α = 0.80, ω = 1.08).
The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15; Gu et al., 2016 (link)) is a 15-item scale, and comprises of 5 subscales (Observing items, Describe items, Acting with awareness items, Non-judging items, Non-reactivity items). Total scores were calculated and used within the analysis; with the higher the score meaning higher levels of mindfulness. Responses were recorded using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Never or very rarely true to 5 = Very often or always true), sample items include: “I’m good at finding words to describe my feelings” and “I find myself doing things without paying attention”. Cronbach’s alpha for the FFMQ in the present research was α = 0.67. McDonald’s omega was used to assess the scale reliability for the FFMQ in the present research, but the low association of the items and the proposed poor model fit did not allow for a score until Observe items (i.e., 1, 6, and 11) and Item 5 (non-reactivity) were removed (ω = 0.62).

MSQOL-54: Validating Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis
The minimum and maximum scores of QOL in this questionnaire were 0 and 100, respectively, with higher scores indicating higher QOL. The 12 dimensions of this questionnaire are divided into two general dimensions: (1) physical health, including the dimensions of role limitations related to physical problems, physical health, physical pain, vitality, perception of health, and sexual performance; and (2) mental health, including the dimensions of role limitations related to mental problems, subjective vitality, social function, health problems, and life satisfaction. This scale was designed for MS patients by Barbara Vickery at the University of California in 1995. Its validity (content and concurrent validity) has been confirmed in different studies outside (Fjorback et al., 2007 (link); Mayer and Howard, 2008 (link)) and inside Iran (Olujide and O’Sullivan, 2005 (link); Tornic and Panicker, 2018 (link)). The reliability of this tool was confirmed with a correlation coefficient of 0.86.
The MSQOL-54 contains 54 questions, 18 of which pertain to 14 areas specific to MS (i.e., physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to mental problems, social function, health stress, sexual function, satisfaction with sexual function, pain, energy, perception of health, overall QOL, health changes, cognitive function, and psychological wellbeing); also, 36 questions are related to general QOL. Each question has two to seven options and is rated on a Likert scale. Finally, the score of QOL is determined by combining the scores of the two areas; these two areas include “physical health” and “spiritual-psychological health.” The scores of all 14 areas and two combined areas are in the range of 0–100, with higher scores indicating a better status.

Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction
The Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction (GMSEX) [59 (link)] was used to assess overall sexual satisfaction. Participants rated their sexuality on five 7-point bipolar scales ranging from: Bad-Good, Unpleasant-Pleasant, Negative-Positive, Unsatisfying-Satisfying, and Worthless-Valuable. Total scores ranged from 5 to 35, with higher scores indicating greater sexual satisfaction. The measure yielded satisfactory internal consistency in both the community (α = .91) and clinical samples (α = .89).

Assessment of Sexual Dysfunction and Quality of Life
The study instruments included semi-structured proforma comprising sociodemographic and clinical details. In addition, details on sexual history, particularly focusing on various aspects of high-risk sexual behavior,[16 ] were assessed. For example, age at the first sexual encounter, number of sexual partners in a lifetime, use of condoms, premarital sexual intercourse, intercourse with commercial sex workers/casual partners, symptoms suggestive of sexual diseases, etc.
Scale for assessment of sexual dysfunction: Scales for sexual dysfunction were applied which included an index for premature ejaculation (IPE) and an index for erectile function (IIEF).[28 (link),29 (link)] Erectile dysfunction, on IIEF, is defined by a score less than 25 on the erectile function domain of IIEF. Premature ejaculation, on the other hand, is not defined within the scale but has been defined in certain studies as a score less than 50% of the total score on IPE.[30 (link),31 (link)] Apart from erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, other sexual dysfunctions were not assessed in our study. We chose to assess only these two sexual dysfunctions as they are commonly encountered in our clinical population and are easily assessed using structured scales.
Scales for assessment of the sexual relationship, satisfaction, and sexual quality of life: For assessment of sexual relationships, satisfaction, and sexual quality of life, three scales, viz, the Self-esteem and Relationship Questionnaire (SEAR),[32 (link)] the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short form (NSSS-S),[33 ] the Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Male (SQoL-M),[34 (link)] were used.

SEAR: It is a 14-item scale that assesses self-esteem and relationship through Likert scoring.[32 (link)] A cutoff of 50% has been used in some studies.[31 (link)] Internal consistencies of all domains are more than 0.8.

NSSS-S: It is a Likert-type scale assessing satisfaction associated with the sexual activities of the partner and self. It has two subscales: ego-centered subscale (10 items) and activity/partner-centered subscale (10 items).[33 ] The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the scale is good (>0.9).

SQoL-M: It is an 11-item Likert-type scale, assessing an individual’s perception of his sexual quality of life.[34 (link)] The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the scale is >0.7. All scales were translated into Hindi as per WHO translation-back translation method (except IIEF and IPE which were already available in Hindi).

Factors Influencing Daily Satisfaction
We used sex and age as control variables, as these variables may account for
differences in daily experienced satisfaction (Dello Russo et al., 2021 ). Sex may
influence satisfaction because men and women have different affective
patterns; for instance, women tend to react more intensely to daily
micro-events, whereas men tend to be less vulnerable to these situational
influences (Junça-Silva
et al., 2022). In addition, age may influence satisfaction
because as people get old, they tend to adapt their reactions more
effectively, so they also easily achieve satisfaction, whereas youngers tend
to be more impulsive, and as such their affective reactions tend to be more
intense, less adaptive and more volatile to situational influences (Dello Russo et al.,
2021; Junça-Silva et al., 2022 (link)).
