Abstract

Introduction: The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a questionnaire used to assess female sexual function and diagnose sexual dysfunction (SD). Aim: to provide a Croatian translation of the FSFI. Methods: The translation procedure consisted of creating two independent forward translations, merging them into a single forward translation, creating a back translation, comparing the back translation with the original, and deciding on a fi nal translation. Results: no semantic differences were found when comparing the back translation with the original. Therefore, minimal changes were made to the earlier translation when the fi nal translation was created. Conclusions: The Croatian translation of the FSFI is now available for assessing the widespread problem of female SD in the Croatian-speaking population.
