Abstract

Objective: Validate the sexual dysfunction nursing diagnosis in pregnant women. Methods: Cross-sectional research using Richard Fehring’s Clinical Diagnostic Validity Model. Findings: The prevalence of diagnosis was 48.7% in a sample of 306 pregnant women. A total of 14 defining characteristics were validated: seven major and seven minor. Seeks confirmation of desirability had the highest sensitivity value and decrease in sexual desire had the highest specificity value. The total score was 0.79. Conclusions: The diagnosis was validated in this sample. Implications for practice: The prevalence of the diagnosis is a requirement for effective intervention. Validation in different social and cultural contexts would increase the clinical evidence of this diagnosis.
