The purpose of this study was to develop an uncertainty scale for infertile women.
The process included construction of a conceptual framework, generation of 12items, verification of content validity, selection of secondary items, verification of construct validity and extraction of final items. In order to verify the reliability and validity of the preliminary instrument, data were collected from 50 infertile women in an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) clinic. Data were analyzed by item analysis, Varimax factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha.
There were 10 items in the final instrument categorized into 2 factors labeled as "personal (6 items)" and "relational (4 items)" The total variance explained was 73.36%. The instrument was shown to have good reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of .899.
Validity and reliability of the scale were confirmed in this study showing its utility to measure uncertainty for infertile women. The instrument can help understand sterility and accurately measure uncertainty for infertile women. The instrument can also be used to evaluate nursing interventions designed for mitigating uncertainty for infertile women.
本研究旨在开发一种针对不孕女性的不确定性量表。
该过程包括构建概念框架、生成12个条目、验证内容效度、选择次要条目、验证结构效度以及提取最终条目。为了验证初步工具的信效度，从一家体外受精（IVF）诊所的50名不孕女性中收集数据。通过项目分析、方差最大化因子分析和克朗巴哈系数进行数据分析。
最终工具中有10个条目，分为2个因子，分别标记为“个人（6个条目）”和“关系（4个条目）”。解释的总方差为73.36%。该工具显示出良好的信度，克朗巴哈系数为0.899。
本研究证实了该量表的效度和信度，表明其在测量不孕女性不确定性方面的效用。该工具有助于理解不孕症，并准确测量不孕女性的不确定性。该工具还可用于评估旨在减轻不孕女性不确定性的护理干预措施。
