Lack of a valid and reliable women's empowerment tool was reported by previous studies in Iran. The authors of this paper, accordingly, intended to fill this gap by developing a valid questionnaire. 600 women in Dezful city, southeast of Iran, took part in the study in 2014-2015. Multistage sampling method was used to recruit the participants. Our exploratory factor analysis revealed that 18 items of the model loaded on 4 factors. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was suitable as Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.77. Considering high validity and shortness of the questionnaire, it can be used as a trustful and comprehensive tool to measure women's empowerment in future studies.
伊朗先前的研究报告称缺乏有效且可靠的妇女赋权工具。因此,本文作者打算通过编制一份有效的问卷来填补这一空白。2014年至2015年,伊朗东南部迪兹富尔市的600名女性参与了该研究。采用多阶段抽样方法招募参与者。我们的探索性因素分析表明,该模型的18个项目加载在4个因素上。问卷的内部一致性良好,因为克朗巴哈系数为0.77。考虑到问卷的高效度和简短性,它可作为未来研究中衡量妇女赋权的可靠且全面的工具。
