AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of Condom Use and its Cognitive Determinants Questionnaire (CUCDQ) among married women in Tabriz, Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, applying multistage cluster sampling 388 married women were recruited to participate in the study. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to develop CUCDQ. Face, content, and construct validity, as well as reliability, were investigated. RESULTS: Principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation demonstrated a six factors structure as the best solution [Bartlett's Test of Sphericity (Approx. Chi-Square= 4193.07, df= 780, p<0.001); KMO= 0.815] which explained 43.13% of all the variance between the items. CUCDQ represented a proper validity, reliability, simplicity and functionality. CONCLUSION: CUCDQ may be helpful for family health care providers and family planning decision makers in precise assessing the behavioural, psychological, and educational factors related to condom use. This scale may be useful in a various range of studies including family planning or STIs prevention studies in different communities. Future research is recommended to assess the different dimensions of the tool in different communities.
目的:本研究旨在评估伊朗大不里士已婚女性中避孕套使用及其认知决定因素问卷(CUCDQ)的心理测量特性。 材料与方法:在这项横断面研究中,采用多阶段整群抽样法招募了388名已婚女性参与研究。通过全面的文献综述来编制CUCDQ。对其进行了表面效度、内容效度、结构效度以及信度的调查。 结果:采用方差最大化旋转的主成分因子分析表明,六因素结构是最佳解决方案[巴特利特球形检验(近似卡方 = 4193.07,自由度 = 780,p < 0.001);KMO = 0.815],该结构解释了各项目间所有方差的43.13%。CUCDQ具有良好的效度、信度、简易性和功能性。 结论:CUCDQ可能有助于家庭医疗保健提供者和计划生育决策者精确评估与避孕套使用相关的行为、心理和教育因素。该量表可能在包括不同社区的计划生育或性传播感染预防研究等各种研究中有用。建议未来的研究评估该工具在不同社区中的不同维度。
