Title: | Measuring self-efficacy to deal with infertility: Psychometric properties and confirmatory factor analysis of the Portuguese version of the infertility self-efficacy scale | Authors: | Galhardo, Ana Cunha, Marina Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Keywords: | Factor Analysis, Statistical; Infertility; Portugal; Psychometrics; Reproductive Techniques, Assisted; Adaptation, Psychological; Self Efficacy | Issue Date: | Feb-2013 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Research in nursing & health | Volume: | 36 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | This study explores the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Portuguese version of the Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale (ISE-P), using translation and back-translation of the original version; principal component analysis; confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); and internal consistency, and test-retest reliability analyses. A total of 287 participants (156 women and 131 men) seeking medical treatment were recruited from public and private fertility centers. CFA revealed that the single-component model fit the data well. The instrument showed excellent internal consistency, good test-retest reliability, and correlations with other mental health measures suggesting good convergent and discriminant validity. In conclusion, The ISE-P is a valid and reliable Portuguese-language measure of perceived self-efficacy to cope with infertility. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47237 | Rights: | openAccess |
