Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to adapt the fertility intention scale (FIS) for Breast Cancer Survivors into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability.

Data Sources

The study sample consisted of 157 women of reproductive age who had completed chemotherapy and radiotherapy for breast cancer. The Turkish version of the scale was developed using the translate-back translation method for language validity. Expert opinions were sought for content validity, and the content validity index was calculated. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modeling in Amos 23.0. Reliability was assessed through Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson correlation for scale dimensions, and intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability, with P < .05 considered significant.

Results

The reliability coefficients for the total FIS and its four subdimensions ranged from 0.77 to 0.97. Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis showed a significant fit (0.87-0.97) between test-retest measurements for the FIS and its subdimensions. Pearson correlation revealed a significant positive relationship between the FIS and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (r = 0.238, P < .001). Exploratory factor analysis confirmed the scale’s four subdimensions: “Pregnancy risk,” “Disease control,” “Social support,” and “Happiness.”

Conclusions

As a result, the 15-item scale and four factors were found to be theoretically and statistically acceptable. The FIS for Breast Cancer Survivors is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Implications for Nursing Practice

The FIS can help nurses assess breast cancer survivors’ fertility concerns, enabling them to provide personalized counseling and support related to reproductive health options.

乳腺癌幸存者生育意愿量表：土耳其效度和信度研究。

目的：本研究旨在将乳腺癌幸存者生育意愿量表（FIS）调整为土耳其语，并评估其效度和可靠性。资料来源：研究样本包括157名已完成乳腺癌化疗和放疗的育龄妇女。土耳其语版本的量表是使用语言效度的回译法开发的。对内容效度征求专家意见，计算内容效度指标。对于构念效度，采用Amos 23.0中的结构方程模型进行验证性因子分析。信度通过Cronbach’s alpha、量表维度的Pearson相关和重测信度的类内相关系数进行评估，P < 0.05认为显著。结果：FIS总分及其四个子维度的信度系数在0.77 ~ 0.97之间。类内相关系数分析显示，FIS的重测测量值与其子维度之间存在显著的拟合（0.87-0.97）。Pearson相关分析显示，FIS与创伤后成长量表呈正相关（r = 0.238,P < 0.001）。探索性因素分析证实了量表的四个子维度：“怀孕风险”、“疾病控制”、“社会支持”和“幸福”。结论：15项量表和4个因素在理论上和统计上是可以接受的。乳腺癌幸存者的FIS是一个有效和可靠的测量工具。对护理实践的启示：FIS可以帮助护士评估乳腺癌幸存者的生育问题，使他们能够提供与生殖健康选择相关的个性化咨询和支持。
