Study population: It is very difficult to determine what kind of universe individuals over the age of 18 create and to reach the representative group even if it is determined. For this reason, rather than the criterion of representing the universe, it was based on creating a heterogeneous sample group by considering various age groups in a "fit for purpose" way. In this direction, the "snowball sampling" technique, which is one of the non-random sampling types, was preferred. Snowball sampling is a sampling method used in cases where it is difficult to reach the desired population and sample, including quantitative research, especially qualitative research, and the desired sampling frame does not include a large number of sample individuals.
Who may be able to join
- Individuals over the age of 18 who are willing to participate in the study, without psychiatric illness,

Who cannot join

About this study
Official title: Development of the Sexual Health Literacy Scale
According to the World Health Organization, sexual health is a state of well-being related to sexuality as a whole, not just the absence of disease or dysfunction or disability. sexual health; It requires a positive and respectful attitude, free from sexual coercion and discrimination, free of violence, enjoyable and safe experiences. It obliges the respect, protection and fulfillment of the sexual rights of every individual. sexual health; includes a safe and respectful framework free from violence and discrimination; it covers not only the reproductive period, but every age period; different sexual identities and forms of sexual expression, as well as livable and critical gender values, roles, expectations and power dynamics. Insufficient information, difficult access to health services and lack of a guiding structure; It negatively affects young individuals' ability to take responsible decisions with good knowledge about sexuality during their sexual development. Information is obtained from channels where erroneous and incorrect information transfer is intense, and the ways of accessing this information play an important role in the spread of sexual myths in society. Based on all these reasons; This study aimed to develop the Sexual Health Literacy Scale.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
data collection groupBehavioural
The scale development process generally consists of three stages as item production, theoretical analysis and psychometric analysis. The researcher provides theoretical support to the item pool during item production. In the theoretical analysis stage, the content validity of the new scale is evaluated and the first item pool is ensured to reflect the desired structure. In the final stage of the psychometric analysis, the researcher evaluates whether the new scale establishes validity and reliability.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
scale development
The data will be collected with the online data collection tool created by the researchers through the software called google forms. During data collection, the e-mail address of the researchers will be indicated on the form so that the questions of the participants can be answered by the researchers. You will be informed that filling out the data collection form will take an average of 10 minutes for each participant.
In addition, in order to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the scale, data collection tools will be sent to at least 30 randomly selected individuals from the sample two weeks after the first data collection.
Measured: 3 month
test-retest reliability of the scale
In order to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the scale, data collection tools will be sent to at least 30 randomly selected individuals from the sample two weeks after the first data collection. Therefore, after the pre-application, the scale will be applied to 400 people within the scope of the calculated sample, and then, two weeks later, at least 50 people will be re-applied from the individuals to whom the same scale was applied.
Measured: Retest( later 2 weeks)
