| Popis: | We investigated the psychometric properties of a Dutch version of the Reproductive Concerns Scale (RCS). Questionnaires (N = 515) were administered to 90 women with breast cancer, 227 women with fertility problems, and 198 healthy controls. Principal axis factor analysis suggested a one-factor structure with 11 items (breast cancer patients R(2) =.48, α =.87, ICC =.95; women with fertility problems R(2) =.45, α =.89, ICC =.86). Women with fertility problems reported the most concerns (M = 21.8, SD = 9.6), followed by breast cancer patients (M = 14.8, SD = 10.0) and healthy controls (M = 6.4, SD = 7.0). Theoretically related constructs were correlated to the RCS (.33r.73). The RCS seems to be a valid tool for assessing women's reproductive concerns. |
