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.

土耳其版避孕药具使用污名量表的效度和信度

目的本研究的目的是适应避孕使用耻辱（CUS）量表土耳其和审查其效度和信度。方法对140名女性进行方法学研究。为了将CUS量表改编成土耳其语，我们进行了土耳其语的翻译和文化改编。然后采用验证性因子分析对其心理测量特性进行评价。结果量表由7个条目和1个分量表组成。在验证性因子分析中，发现量表的拟合指数值是合适的。重测信度的类内相关系数为0.73,Cronbach’s alpha系数为0.85。结论土耳其版CUS量表是一种有效可靠的工具，可用于衡量妇女对使用避孕药具的污名化信念和态度。
