- Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted in order to test the validity and reliability of the Fertility Health Knowledge Survey (FHKS) by adapting it to Turkish culture. Materials and Methods: This methodological research was performed with a total of 265 students studying in the nursing department of a Health Sciences Faculty. The content validity, structure validity, internal consistency reliability and item analysis methods were used to determine the psychometric properties of FHKS. Results: The FSBS scale consists of 30 items and according to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, it was seen that its single factor structure explained 43.03% of the variance. In addition, item factor loads were found to range between 0.328 to 0.834. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, the goodness of fit values of the scale were calculated as χ2/sd=2.262, RMSEA=0.069, GFI=0.846, AGFI=0.801, CFI=0.923. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.949. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it has been determined that the FSS is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used specifically for Turkish society. The scale can be used in clinical practice and research to assess knowledge about fertility health-related risk factors.
