Abstract：
In some cultures, giving birth and marriage adds value to women, while being single can cause women to be exposed to social and individual pressures. There are currently no instruments available in the literature for assessing how pressure women feel to be married and have children. This study aimed to develop the Marriage and Fertility Pressure Scale (PSMF) by measuring the marriage and fertility pressure on single women. The study contacted 360 single women via women\'s health and social groups on social networking sites. Cronbach\'s alpha values of the marriage pressure and fertility pressure were 0.94 and 0.82, respectively. The factor analysis of the marriage and fertility pressure subscales revealed a six-dimensional structure explaining 59.26 percent and 60.54 percent of the total variance, respectively. In conclusion, this study was important in developing a highly reliable and valid PSMF measurement tool to measure the pressure on women in terms of marriage and fertility. The widespread use of the scale in public health research will increase the sensitivity and awareness of the people about the pressure on single women. Moreover, this scale will contribute to the evaluation of the social and individual pressure differences in the research to be carried out on marriage and childbirth between societies.
摘要：
在某些文化中,生育和婚姻增加了女性的价值，而单身会导致女性面临社会和个人压力。目前，文献中没有可用的工具来评估妇女结婚和生孩子的压力。本研究旨在通过测量单身女性的婚姻和生育压力来制定婚姻和生育压力量表（PSMF）。该研究通过社交网站上的女性健康和社交团体联系了360名单身女性。婚姻压力和生育压力的Cronbach'sα值分别为0.94和0.82。婚姻和生育压力分量表的因子分析显示了一个六维结构，解释了总方差的59.26％和60.54％，分别。总之,这项研究对于开发高度可靠且有效的PSMF测量工具以测量女性在婚姻和生育方面的压力非常重要.该量表在公共卫生研究中的广泛使用将增加人们对单身女性压力的敏感性和认识。此外，该量表将有助于评估社会之间的婚姻和分娩研究中的社会和个人压力差异。
