Protocol summary

Study aim
"Psychometrics of the Persian Version of the Fertility Intention Scale for Young Breast Cancer Survivors"
Design
First, the questionnaire will be translated by two independent translators, and then a synthesized version will be prepared. Back-translation will be performed by two other translators, and the versions will be compared with the original text. Subsequently, a 10-member expert panel, including nursing faculty, oncology specialists, reproductive health researchers, and a psychometric expert, will evaluate the translated version for clarity, conceptual meaning, and cultural appropriateness, and will approve the pre-final version. Content validity will be assessed using CVR and CVI indices based on the opinions of 10 experts, and face validity will be examined qualitatively and quantitatively through 10 patients and 5 experts. Construct validity will be evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with standard fit indices. The instrument's reliability will be measured using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest (ICC). Finally, after confirming its psychometric properties, the Persian version of the scale will be ready for use in clinical and reproductive health research."

Description
Control group: "This study aims to psychometrically evaluate the Persian version of the Fertility Intention Scale for young female breast cancer survivors. Participants include women who have completed active breast cancer treatment, are in the follow-up phase, and according to the opinion of an oncology specialist, are of reproductive age and possess the cognitive ability and literacy in Persian. The research procedures will follow standard guidelines for translation and cultural adaptation of psychometric instruments. First, the questionnaire will be translated by two independent translators, and then a synthesized version will be prepared. Back-translation will be performed by two other translators, and the versions will be compared with the original text. Subsequently, a 10-member expert panel, including nursing faculty, oncology specialists, reproductive health researchers, and a psychometric expert, will evaluate the translated version for clarity, conceptual meaning, and cultural appropriateness, and will approve the pre-final version. Content validity will be assessed using CVR and CVI indices based on the opinions of 10 experts, and face validity will be examined qualitatively and quantitatively through 10 patients and 5 experts. Construct validity will be evaluated using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with standard fit indices. The instrument's reliability will be measured using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest (ICC). Finally, after confirming its psychometric properties, the Persian version of the scale will be ready for use in clinical and reproductive health research."
