摘要

本研究旨在發展及測試青少女痛經自我照顧量表。研究者們首先運用焦點團體訪談
方式瞭解青少女的痛經自我照顧行為。然後以方便取樣361 位年齡介於13-18 歲、
過去6 個月來至少有2 次痛經經驗的青少女為研究對象，來測試量表的信效度。量
表信度Cronbach’ s alpha 值為.89；另外，研究者乃運用對照組測試及驗證性因素分析來測試量表的效度。研究結果顯示：痛經自我照顧量表為一具有初步信效度的量表。

The purposes of this research were to develop and test a self-care scale for dysmenorrhic adolescents. A focus group was employed to obtain information on dysmenorrhic self-care behavior of adolescents. A convenience sample of 361 ado les cent girls aged 13-18 were employed who had experienced cramping pain in the lower abdomen during their menstrual periods at least two times within the 6 months prior to the study. Cronbach’s alpha of the scale was found to be 0.89 and both con tent and construct validity were addressed by a contrast-groups approach and confirmatory factor analysis. It was concluded that the resulting scale was both reliable and valid.
