Abstract

Aims

The aim of this study was to adapt the contraceptive use stigma (CUS) scale into Turkish and review its validity and reliability.

Methods

This methodological study comprised of 140 women. For the adaptation of the CUS scale into Turkish, translation and cultural adaptation into the Turkish language was performed. Then, its psychometric properties were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis.

Results

It was determined that the CUS scale consisted of seven items and one subscale. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit index values of the scale were found to be suitable. The intraclass correlation coefficient of test–retest reliability was 0.73, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85.

Conclusion

The Turkish version of the CUS scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to measure women's stigmatising beliefs and attitudes regarding the use of contraceptives.
