    (Galenos Publ House, 2023) Karadeniz, Hilal; Demirci, Nurdan; Ozkan, Filiz Suzer; Savas, Hacer Gulen
    Objective: This study aims to identify the problems experienced by women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment due to progesterone use, as well as their coping strategies.Methods: The study included 145 women who were admitted to an infertility outpatient clinic of a university hospital between July 25 and August 8, 2022. The researchers collected data using a questionnaire designed to assess the problems that might arise due to the use of various types of progesterone-containing drugs and coping methods. The data were evaluated using descriptive statistics in the SPSS program.Results: The mean age of the women was 30.76 & PLUSMN;5.53 years, and the mean duration of their marriages was 6.6 & PLUSMN;4.51 years. Of women 64.8% had primary infertility and 68.3% of women underwent assisted reproductive treatment (ART) at least once before. Women who received intramuscular progesterone treatment during ART frequently experienced pain, swelling, abscess, redness at the injection site. Women who received progesterone treatment vaginally experienced vaginal wetness, drying of the drug in the vagina, lumps, the drug leaving the body, the drug not being completely absorbed, vaginal itching. Women who received progesterone treatment orally experienced sleepiness, nausea, dizziness, headache, fatigue. Women coped with these problems using various methods.Conclusion: The study revealed that women undergoing ART experienced many problems related to the use of progesterone and they attempted to address these issues through their own means. It is necessary to inform patients and to plan nursing interventions to minimize/eliminate these problems.

    Psychometric evaluation of the birth participation scale for fathers (BPS-F): a methodological study
    (Bmc, 2025) Savas, Hacer Gulen; Karadeniz, Hilal; Cangur, Sengul
    BackgroundThe participation of fathers in childbirth contributes primarily to the improvement of maternal and infant health and, consequently, to public health. To increase the participation of expectant fathers in childbirth, an appropriate screening tool is needed. This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Birth Participation Scale developed for expectant fathers.MethodsThe research involved a total of 250 expectant fathers who submitted applications to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic of a university hospital. After translating the scale into a methodological and cross-sectional investigation, psychometric properties were evaluated. The validity of the scale was assessed by evaluating the content, construct, and face validity. Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's Omega, Spearman-Brown split-half and test-retest reliability coefficients were calculated to determine the item's reliability.ResultsThe average content validity index (CVI) values for relevance, clarity, and simplicity were found to be 0.99 for each. The impact score of the items was 1.5 and above. A factor structure with 17 items, and 3 sub-dimensions was obtained through Exploratory Factor Analysis. The factor loadings of the items ranged between 0.55 and 0.85. The validity of this structure was assessed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis and the model fit indices were acceptable or good fit. The reliability coefficients for Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's Omega, and Spearman-Brown split half were 0.89, 0.92, and 0.81, respectively. Moreover, the test-retest correlation was 0.96.ConclusionsThe Birth Participation Scale for Fathers has a suitable validity and reliability for assessing fathers' participation in birth. It is a simple reporting tool that healthcare professionals in Turkey can easily implement.
