Abstract

Background: Self-efficacy is one of the most important psychological constructs in numerous health areas, including reproductive health. It is necessary to use an appropriate tool for measuring selfefficacy in people coping with challenge of infertility treatment. The purpose of the present study was to determine the PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES of INFERTILITY SELF-EFFICACY SCALE (ISE) in Iranian infertile women.Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted at Mehr infertility clinic in Rasht in summer 2017. A total of 203 infertile women who were referred to a private infertility clinic were selected using available sampling. They responded to ISE, Beck Depression inventory (BDI-2), Infertility stress questionnaire (FPI), and stress coping strategies questionnaire (CISS). To assess the RELIABILITY, internal consistency was calculated and cronbach’s alpha was obtained. Also, for the purpose of convergent VALIDITY, Stress Coping Strategies questionnaire was administered and to investigate the divergent VALIDITY, we used Infertility stress questionnaire and Beck Depression Inventory. Moreover, to assess construct VALIDITY of the ISE, exploratory factor analysis with principal component was implemented.Results: The Cronbach’s coefficient for the scale was 0.90, which shows an excellent internal consistency.Also, the results of exploratory factor analysis supported one component for the ISE, which was similar to that of the original scale. Convergent VALIDITY of the ISE with Stress coping strategies questionnaire was calculated and statistically significant correlation was obtained. The divergent VALIDITY of the ISE revealed significant negative correlation between ISE and Beck depression Inventory and Infertility stress questionnaire.Conclusion: It seems that the ISE is a reliable and valid measure to assess self-efficacy among a sample of Iranian women who underwent infertility treatment. The ISE can be used as a useful self-assessment tool for clinical researches and psychological counseling.
