SESAMO - Anamnestic Report

Anamnestic Report

The report is divided in 9 parts:

• 1. Heading

It contains the subject's identification data and some directions for using the information in the report properly (interpretations, inferences and indications provided by the report).

• 2. Personal data and household

It displays a summary of personal data, BMI (Body mass index), the starting and finishing time of the administration, the time required to fill in the questionnaire, the composition of the household, the present affective-relational condition and off-the-cuff comments from the subject at the end of the administration.

• 3. Scoring diagram for each area

A diagram displays a comparative summary of the scores obtained by the subject in each area of analysis (it could be defined as a snapshot of the subject's sexual-relational condition). The right side of the diagram (displaying positive scores) indicates an hypothesis about the degree of discomfort/dysfunction for each area.

• 4. Critical traits

The critical traits section highlights the most relevant and significative features of the subject's condition and his/her sexual-relational fields. These indications allow to get some relevant hints to be used in prospective in-depth medical, psychological, psychiatric interviews.

• 5. Narrative report

It tells in a narrative and detailed way the subject's sexual-relational history, through the explanations and comments he/she made while completing the questionnaire.

• 6. Further diagnostic examinations and specialist examinations

It gives some brief indications about those focal points which need to be addressed and carefully considered, besides it suggests prospective specialist examinations and counselling.

• 7. Parameters for the items and subliminal indexes

This section of the report displays, as well as the topic relative to each question, the indexes of subliminal factors measured on the subject and the significance degree of the answers he/she has chosen for each item.

• Go-back index (it shows that the subject went back to previous items due to rethinking/rumination);
• Try-jump index (it reveals an attempt to jump or leave out the answer to an item);
• Significance index (or weight) of the answers chosen by the subject for each item;
• Latency time index for each item (measured for each answer);
• Kinetic reaction index of the subject (emotional motility measured for each item).

• 8. The score for each area displays:

• a descriptive heading of the fields of investigation relative to the subject's affective-relational condition (single or couple);
• the number of the omitted answers for each area (this option is activated only when entering the answers into the computer from a paper questionnaire);
• the rough points obtained by the subject for each area;
• the Z scores (standard scores) for each area and their relative percentile ranks.

• 9. Completed questionnaire

This section displays all the answers chosen and entered into the computer by the subject while completing the questionnaire; as well as being a documental report (official certificate), it can be used in personalised close examinations and to obtain the open answers entered through the keyboard by the subject.
