This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Contraceptive Self-Efficacy in Women in Sub-Saharan Africa (CSESSA) scale.
Contraceptive self-efficacy is a crucial predictor of utilization of modern contraceptive methods. However, the existing tools for comprehensively assessing contraceptive self-efficacy are limited. Methods: The sample of this methodological study consisted of 510 female participants of reproductive age. The translation and cultural adaptation of the scale were performed. For validity, content validity and construct validity were tested. For reliability, test-retest reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and item-total score correlations were evaluated. Findings: The goodness-of-fit indices showed an overall acceptable fit with the three-factor model. Cronbach's alpha for the overall CSESSA scale was 0.867, and for the three subscales, it ranged from 0.77 to 0.84. The scale's test-retest reliability was found to be r = 0.83 (p < 0.001), and the item-total correlations score ranged from 0.495 to 0.646. The Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable tool to measure the contraceptive self-efficacy of women of reproductive age. This scale can provide a comprehensive understanding of self-efficacy by assessing various dimensions of contraceptive self-efficacy.
本研究旨在评估《撒哈拉以南非洲女性避孕自我效能感量表》（CSESSA）土耳其语版本的有效性和可靠性。
避孕自我效能感是现代避孕方法使用情况的关键预测指标。然而，用于全面评估避孕自我效能感的现有工具有限。方法：本方法学研究的样本包括510名育龄女性参与者。对该量表进行了翻译和文化调适。在有效性方面，测试了内容效度和结构效度。在可靠性方面，评估了重测信度、克朗巴哈α系数以及项目与总分的相关性。结果：拟合优度指数显示与三因素模型总体拟合良好。CSESSA量表总体的克朗巴哈α系数为0.867，三个子量表的克朗巴哈α系数在0.77至0.84之间。该量表的重测信度为r = 0.83（p < 0.001），项目与总分的相关得分在0.495至0.646之间。该量表的土耳其语版本是测量育龄女性避孕自我效能感的有效且可靠的工具。该量表通过评估避孕自我效能感的各个维度，能够提供对自我效能感的全面理解。
