title: Outcome measures for erectile dysfunction 2: evaluation.
abstract: This article, the second of two parts, discusses and evaluates the range of outcome measures for erectile dysfunction (ED) identified from the literature review in part one (Vol 11(1): 54-64). The literature review identified 14 subjective and 12 objective measures. These outcome measures are needed for the components: rigidity, vascular flow, nerve conductivity, intracavernosus muscle power, partner satisfaction and quality of life. Instruments selected should provide good validity, reliability and responsiveness. Quick, simple, inexpensive and efficient outcome measures can be used by nurses.
