摘要
Purpose: The Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI) is a screening instrument used to identify infertility-related stress. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the FPI. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: Forward backward translation of the FPI from English to Korean was conducted. The translated instrument was pilot-tested and administered to 259 women with infertility. Test-retest reliability was conducted and the internal consistency coefficient was determined. Validity was evaluated through content validity, construct validity with confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity, and convergent validity. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: The internal consistency was satisfactory (Cronbach%26apos;s alpha =.92, item-total correlations =.60.92). The overall content validity index was 96.9%, signifying that the FPI had good content validity. The model fit indexes were acceptable (goodness of fit index =.92, adjusted goodness of fit index =.91, normal fit index =.95, comparative fit index =.93, and root mean square error of approximation =.05), indicating good construct validity. The intercorrelations were significant, although low to moderate in size (.20.59). The correlation between the FPI and depression ranged from .32 to.51 (p %26lt;.001), while the correlation between the FPI and the fertility-related quality of life ranged from .35 to.58 (p %26lt;.001). %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: The Korean version of the FPI has high reliability, and good content, construct, discriminant, and convergent validity. A validated Korean version of the FPI may help nurses identify infertility-related stress and administer appropriate nursing interventions to Korean women with infertility.
