AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı kadınlar arasında infertilite ve tedavi sürecinin neden olduğu etkilenme düzeyini belirlemek için özel bir ölçek geliştirmektir.YÖNTEM: Bu ölçek madde oluşturulması, maddelerin geliştirilmesi ve ön testinin yapılması ile güvenirlilik ve yapı geçerliliğinin saptanması olarak tanımlanan üç ana aşamada geliştirilmiştir. Çalışma örneği 198 infertil ve 140 fertil olmak üzere çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 338 kadından oluşmaktadır. İnfertil grup Gülhane askeri Tıp Akademisi İn vitro fertilizasyon ünitesine başvuranlar, Fertil grup ise aynı hastanenin kadın-doğum kliniğine başvuranlar arasından Aralık 2005 Temmuz 2006 döneminde seçilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 15.0 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir.BULGULAR: Ölçeğin madde puanlarının Cronbach Alpha değeri 0.933 olarak saptanmıştır. Maddelerin düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonu 0.27 ile0.78 arsında değişim göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlar 21 maddelik ölçeğin bir grup Türk kadını için bir faktöre dayanan geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.SONUÇ: Bu ölçeğin daha geniş gruplarda geçerliliğini araştırmak amacıyla farklı sosyo-ekonomik düzeydeki kadınlar arasında çalışma yapılması ve ayrıca ölçeğin erkeklere yönelik olarak da geliştirilip geçerliğinin denenmesi önerilmektedir.
