This validation study assesses the reliability of the Hindi FSFI in Indian women, indicating strong psychometric properties.

The aim is to validate the Hindi version of the Female Sexual Function Index for use among Hindi-speaking women.
Translated the FSFI into Hindi using a forward-backward translation protocol.
Conducted a cross-sectional study with 200 sexually active women aged 18-50.
Evaluated internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Performed exploratory factor analysis to confirm the structure of the FSFI-H.
FSFI-H showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.89).
Test-retest reliability was strong (ICC = 0.91).
Exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor structure accounting for 78.2% of variance.
Women with sexual dysfunction scored significantly lower on FSFI-H compared to controls.

Solanki et al. (2026) studied this question.
