Development and validation of the Fertility Anxiety Scale for Chinese Women: a tool for clinical and policy applications by Yiqing He, Noor Eshah Tom Abdul Wahab, Haslina Muhamad

“…However, existing tools focus on a single dimension, lacking a comprehensive measure tailored to Chinese women.Methods Based on cost-utility theory, policy cycle theory, social support theory, gender role theory, and conservation of resources theory, this study developed and validated the Fertility Anxiety Scale for Chinese Women (FAS-CW) through qualitative interviews and surveys.Results The scale, comprising cognitive and emotional anxiety, demonstrates strong reliability and validity.Conclusion The FAS-CW provides a reliable tool for assessing fertility anxiety among Chinese women and contributes to the understanding of its multidimensional structure.Implications The scale can support clinical practice by helping identify high-anxiety individuals and guide policy evaluation related to fertility and childcare. …”
