Purpose:
The purpose of the present study is to conduct the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Infertility Stigma Scale (ISS).
Design And Methods:
This methodological study was conducted in an infertility polyclinic in Turkey. The sample consisted of 178 infertile women.
Findings:
The validity of the four-factor structure of the scale and the appropriateness of its fit indices were confirmed. The analyses of internal consistency indicated that the total score correlations of items were sufficient; test-retest, r = 0.948;P < 0.001; Cronbach's α = 0.93.
Practice Implications:
ISS could be used as a useful assessment instrument in investigating the stigma concerning infertility and making efficient related interventions.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
