BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim was to validate the Spanish version of the Self-Esteem and Relationship Questionnaire (SEAR), specific for patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), and based on the concept of self-esteem, for use in research and clinical practice in Spain. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Observational, prospective, multisite, study comparing patients with ED (IIEF questionnaire score < 26 points), with a score (3/4) 16 points in the Self-Esteem domain of the SEAR questionnaire and undergoing treatment with sildenafil (group A), and healthy control subjects without ED. Patients with ED were assessed at baseline and after 3 months' treatment. RESULTS: Among 586 evaluable subjects (504 patients with ED and 82 health subjects) the questionnaire showed: a) adequate feasibility with a percentage of patients without response < 5%; b) adequate reliability with Cronbach alpha coefficients for the total and all domains (Sexual-Relationship, Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Overall-Relationship), of SEAR questionnaire, respectively: 0.92, 0.89, 0.84, 0.75, and 0.82 un patients, and 0.86, 0.80, 0.73, 0.56 and 0.74 un healthy subjects; c) adequate discriminatory validity between patients and healthy subjects (Mann-Whitney test, p < 0.0001), and between patients with vaying degrees of ED (Kruskall-Wallis test, p < 0.05); d) adequate convergent/divergent validity (correlations > 0.5 with the IIEF questionnaire and r > 0.3 and < 0.5 with Mental Health domain score of SF-12 questionnaire); e) adequate construct validity, obtaining 2 domains: Sexual-Relationship, and Confidence, and f) adequate sensitivity to clinical changes (SES: 2.1/SRM: 1.5/SEM: 4.4/MID: 13.1). Mark scores were estimated. CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version of the SEAR questionnaire showed adequate and similar psychometric properties to those shown with the original English version.

In 1983, Walsh introduced anatomical radical retropubic prostatectomy. With the surgical modifications that preserve neurovascular bundles, excellent cancer control can be achieved, while preserving erectile function and urinary continence in most appropriately selected patients. Since them, radical prostatectomy has become the most common treatment for clinically localized prostate cancer. Treatment results following radical prostatectomy will most likely continue to improve in the future as early detection is more widely practiced.
