Neglecting this aspect of health and its evaluation and measurement can affect the quality of sexual life and cause people to face challenges in their lives. This research aimed to review the range of questionnaires on sexual health and the concepts and dimensions they cover.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Methods:</b> A systematic scoping review based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines from January 1, 2000, to January 31, 2023, was performed in 5 databases&mdash;including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar&mdash;with the keywords extracted from MeSH. This study is a type of scoping review conducted within the framework of Arksey and O&rsquo;Malley&rsquo;s 5-step process. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Results: </b>From a total of 1783 manuscripts found, 65 articles met the inclusion criteria. Having reviewed the questionnaires, 2 types of indicators&mdash;(1) nonspecific indicators for sexual health and (2) special indicators of sexual health based on 3 physical (sexual performance, sexual dysfunction, and sexual activity), psychological (sexual satisfaction, intimate relationships, and sexual compatibility), and social (interpersonal relationships and sexual well-being) dimensions&mdash;were obtained. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Conclusion:</b> Despite the wide range of definitions and indicators used, a set of key indicators is apparent based on the results of this scoping review. These include knowledge and application of pregnancy prevention techniques, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infection prevention, sexual decision-making participation, sexual negotiation power, sexual communication skills, and sexual experiences and their impact on the quality of sexual life. This set of indicators can be systematically completed in each study based on the concept of promoting sexual health, however, additional indicators, take into account the sociocultural determinants of each society with sexual values and norms of the same cultural background.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span style="text-justify:kashida"><span style="text-kashida:0%"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-style:normal"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Sexual Health, Questionnaire, Scoping Review 1019 1136 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-8770-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Zoleikha Arabkari z.arabgari@gmail.com 200319475328460087441 200319475328460087441 No Department of Social Work, School of Social Health, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran Fardin Alipour barbodalipour@gmail.com 200319475328460087442 200319475328460087442 Yes Department of Social Work, Social Welfare Management Research Center, School of Social Health, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran Masood Fallahi-Khoshknab msflir@gmail.com 200319475328460087443 200319475328460087443 No Department of Nursing, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran Effat Merghati-Khoei Effat_mer@yahoo.com 200319475328460087444 200319475328460087444 No Department of Family Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mercedeh Samiei MercedehSamiei@gmail.com 200319475328460087445 200319475328460087445 No Department of Psychiatry, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran Yadollah Abolfathi Momtaz yabolfathi@gmail.com 200319475328460087446 200319475328460087446 No Department of Aging, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran,, Iran
