The authors' aim is to develop and confirm a reliable and valid measurement tool that can measure women's behavior to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The study data were collected from adult women aged 18-47 years (n = 505). Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to the STD scale consisting of 44 items in a 5-point Likert style. According to the results of EFA, 21 items were defined in the scale. The KMO value of the scale is 90.6%. In the study, the varimax rotation method was used to bring the factors together with the related items. As a result of varimax rotation, two factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 were found in the scale. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.911, 0.941 for the first subdimension and 0.889 for the second subdimension. The validity and reliability of this study have been proven according to the results of explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
作者旨在开发并确认一种可靠且有效的测量工具，以衡量女性预防性传播疾病的行为。本研究数据来自年龄在 18-47 岁的成年女性（n=505）。采用 5 级李克特量表对包含 44 个项目的 STD 量表进行探索性因子分析（EFA）。根据 EFA 的结果，该量表确定了 21 个项目。量表的 KMO 值为 90.6%。在研究中，采用方差极大旋转法将因子与相关项目结合在一起。经过方差极大旋转，在量表中发现了两个特征值大于 1 的因子。量表的整体 Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.911，第一分量表为 0.941，第二分量表为 0.889。根据解释性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）的结果，证明了该研究的有效性和可靠性。
