Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to develop a questionnaire for assessing the emotional feelings of the women donors towards the potential offspring resulting from assisted reproductive techniques. Study design: Construct validity was evaluated in a cross-sectional study of 150 Iranian oocyte-donating women who undergoing donor egg programs in Isfahan- Iran. The self-report questionnaire was completed within one to ten days after the oocyte donation. Reliability was determined using internal consistency and stability. Results: The results of the factor analysis were extracted with 3 factors with a predictive power of 89.57 % in 12 items. The internal reliability of the questionnaire was calculated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.792. The stability of the questionnaire was confirmed based on intra class correlation index (0.71). Conclusion: The 12-item questionnaire is a valid tool for assessing the emotions of oocyte donors shortly after doing donor egg programs. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
