Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing
|October 31, 2022
Summary
A new 18-item scale effectively assesses nursing care needs for women experiencing infertility. This reliable and valid tool helps identify physical, psychological, informational, and supportive care requirements for improved patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Reproductive Health
- Psychometrics
Context:
- Infertility significantly impacts women's lives, necessitating high-quality, individualized nursing care.
- Existing assessment tools lack focus on specific nursing care needs for infertile women.
- Identifying these needs is crucial for developing targeted support and interventions.
Purpose:
- To develop and validate a reliable and valid scale for assessing the nursing care needs of women with infertility.
- To provide a standardized instrument for nurses to identify patient requirements.
Summary:
- A new 18-item scale was developed and validated using a sample of 250 women with infertility.
- The scale comprises four factors: physical/psychological needs, information needs, understanding/concern needs, and supportive needs.
- The final scale demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = .92) and validity.
Impact:
- Provides a psychometrically sound tool for assessing nursing care needs in women with infertility.
- Facilitates the delivery of more effective and patient-centered nursing care.
- Contributes to improving the quality of life and psychosocial well-being of women undergoing infertility treatment.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
