Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to ensure the validity and reliability of the Reproductive Autonomy Scale. Methods: Methodological study type was adopted. After obtaining permission from the original scale owner, the language and content validity scale was applied to 386 female participants between the ages of 18-60. Explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used for construct validity and reliability analyses of the study were performed. Results: It was found that excellent agreement in terms of chi-square/sd value of confirmatory factor analysis results (2,394); good fit in terms of GFI value (.943); good fit (.916) for AGFI value, good fit (.060) for RMSEA value; good fit (.946) in terms of CFI value. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the scale, which consists of three sub-dimensions similar to the original scale, was calculated as.650 for the "Decision Making" subscale, .840, for the "Freedom from coercion" subscale, and .783 for the "Communication" subscale. The total Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient value calculated for the whole scale was .84, showing that the scale was valid and reliable. Conclusion: The scale was found to be valid and reliable in Turkish women. © 2024, Ataturk Universitesi. All rights reserved.
