Abstract:Objective To revise and evaluate the reliability and validity of the Fertility Intention Scale (FIS) for breast cancer survivors. Methods The FIS for breast cancer survivors was transculturally adapted into a simplified Chinese version. Then 308 female cancer survivors of childbearing age were investigated using the revised version. Results The total Cronbach′s α coefficient of the revised scale was 0.803, and the Guttman split-half reliability was 0.731. The content validity index was 0.967 at the scale level and ranged from 0.875 to 1.000 at the item level. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 5 common factors with eigenvalues >1, explaining 76.767% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the five-factor structure of the scale fitted well to the dataset. The correlation coefficient between FIS score and that of the Reproductive Concerns after Cancer was 0.609, indicating satisfactory calibration validity. Conclusion The revised FIS is of good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to evaluate fertility intention level of female breast cancer patients of reproductive age.
