The aim of this study was to develop a scale of menstruation myths.
The current research was conducted using a methodologic approach with a sample of 330 women who met the inclusion criteria. The scope, structural validity, and internal consistency of the scale were tested.
As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the scale consisted of 18 items and three factors that explain approximately 57% of the total variance. The Cronbach α value of the scale was 0.86 in the first factor, 0.82 in the second factor, 0.83 in the third factor, and 0.91 in total.
The Menstruation Myths Scale was found to be a valid and reliable measuring tool for reproductive-aged women in Turkish society. It is recommended that the scale be tested with women of different ages, populations, and countries. Additionally, it is believed that the scale can be used to determine myths about menstruation among men.
本研究旨在编制一份月经相关迷思量表。
本研究采用方法学途径，以330名符合纳入标准的女性为样本。对该量表的范围、结构效度和内部一致性进行了测试。
分析结果显示，该量表由18个项目和三个因素组成，这三个因素解释了约57%的总方差。该量表的克朗巴赫α值在第一个因素中为0.86，在第二个因素中为0.82，在第三个因素中为0.83，总体为0.91。
月经相关迷思量表被发现是土耳其社会中育龄女性的有效且可靠的测量工具。建议对不同年龄、人群和国家的女性进行该量表测试。此外，人们认为该量表可用于确定男性对月经的迷思。
