چکیده

Background: Infertility is a global public health issue and may adversely affect life satisfaction. One of the most widely instruments used to assess life satisfaction is the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the SWLS in Iranian infertile women. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, a total of 125 infertile women referring to Royan Institute in Tehran were selected by conveniencesampling method. The participants were administered the SWLS, the HospitalAnxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and a demographic questionnaire. Thepsychometric properties of the SWLS were examined: construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability using Cronbach’s alpha and convergent validity by examining the relationship with HADS.Result: Results of the CFA indicated that a single-factor model provides a good fit to the data (χ2/df= 1.58; GFI= 0.975; CFI= 0.995; NFI= 0.985; RMSEA= 0.069 andSRMR= 0.027). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for SWLS was 0.887. Significant negative correlations were found between SWLS and HADS scores for anxiety(r= -0.410) and depression (r= -0.434), indicating an acceptable convergent validity. Conclusion: The SWLS has adequate psychometric properties for assessing life satisfaction in Iranian infertile women.
