Interventions

Validity and reliability OTHER

In order to evaluate the content validity of the Turkish version of the scale, 12 expert researchers in the field of gynecology and obstetrics were consulted. The experts were asked to evaluate the items as 1-Not Appropriate, 2-Somewhat Appropriate, 3-Reasonably Appropriate, and 4-Very Appropriate. Experts were asked to suggest items not evaluated as "very appropriate". In the Davis technique, the content validity index which is calculated by dividing the number of experts who marked the options a (The item is appropriate) and b (The item needs minor revision) for each item by the total number of experts providing opinions is expected to be over 0.80 \[30\]. Based on expert opinions, the content validity index (CVI) value of the scale was calculated to be 96%, meaning that content validity was ensured. The items were reorganized by considering the experts' suggestions. The scale was administered to 252 women over 18 who were included in the study sample after scoring.
