Turkish

OBJECTIVE: In the study, it was aimed to adapt the Premarital Risky Sexual Behavior Scale for Young Women (PRSAS-YW) into Turkish and to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version. MATERIAL and METHODS:This research is a methodological study and it was conducted with 212 young women who were studying at the Faculty of Nursing, Science-Literature and Education of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and who met the research criteria."Participant Information Form" and "PRSAS-YW" were used to collect the data.For construct validity, "Explanatory Factor Analysis" and "Confirmatory Factor Analysis" were performed.P≤0.05 was taken as statistical significance value.The reliability study was evaluated by item-total correlation, Cronbach's α coefficients, and test-retest. RESULTS:The data were evaluated in terms of inter-expert agreement for content validity after language adaptation and content validity assessment.A total of 6 items were removed from the scale.The content validity rate of the study was determined as 0.98.After the application, 3 items with item total score correlation values below 0.30 and 3 overlapping items were removed from the scale.The remaining items from the scale were grouped under 3 factors.As a result of the analysis made with the remaining 20 items and 3 sub-dimensions, it was determined that the AGFI and GFI goodness of fit indices were at a sufficient level.In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach α coefficient was 0.897 and the test-retest correlation coefficient was r=0.990. CONCLUSION:As a result of the research, it was determined that the form of the scale consisting of 20 items and 3 sub-dimensions is valid and reliable and can be used to evaluate risky sexual behaviors of young women.
