Psychometric Evaluation of Sexual Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Components of the SPARKS Survey for Adults with Spina Bifida

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of a newly developed survey measuring sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge and self-efficacy in adults with spina bifida. The findings indicated that the self-efficacy scales for partner and provider communication demonstrated excellent reliability and validity, while the SRH knowledge scale showed low internal consistency, suggesting a need for refinement to better assess knowledge variability among individuals.
