Abstract

The quality of life of infertile women is distinguished from that of men as these women face different problems at individual, social, psychological, and family levels. However, there is no tool for evaluating infertile women's quality of life. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to evaluate infertile women's quality of life. This was exploratory sequential research. It was performed in two phases (qualitativequantitative) on 320 infertile women who lived in Northern Iran. To confirm the validity of the questionnaire, content, face, structural, and concurrent validities were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by assessing internal consistency and calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient, as well as using stability assessment by test-retest and Intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) calculation. Following psychometric assessment, a questionnaire was developed with 25 items in seven factors, including psychological effects, sexual life with infertility, family and social effects, infertility- related concerns, physical effects, adaptive approaches, and inhibitory factors/factors preventing adaptation), which explained 51.86% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and ICC of the questionnaire were 0.87 and 0.97, respectively. This questionnaire with 25 items is a valid and reliable questionnaire to assess the quality of life of infertile women with the female factor that can be used to find needs for improving the client's quality of life.
女性因素不育妇女生活质量问卷:开发与心理测量
不孕妇女的生活质量有别于男性,因为她们在个人、社会、心理和家庭层面面临着不同的问题。本研究旨在开发并验证一份评估不孕妇女生活质量的问卷。研究分两个阶段(定性-定量)进行,对象是居住在伊朗北部的 320 名不孕妇女。为确认问卷的有效性,采用了内容效度、面效度、结构效度和并发效度。通过评估内部一致性和计算克朗巴赫α系数,以及通过重测和计算组内相关系数(ICC)进行稳定性评估,对问卷的可靠性进行了评估。心理测量评估后,编制了一份包含七个因素(包括心理影响、不孕不育性生活、家庭和社会影响、与不孕不育相关的担忧、生理影响、适应方法和抑制因素/阻碍适应的因素)的 25 个项目的问卷,解释了 51.86% 的方差。该问卷共有 25 个条目,是评估不孕妇女生活质量的有效、可靠的问卷,可用于发现改善客户生活质量的需求。
