Özet:

 Purpose: The present study aims 1 to test the psychometrical properties of the Turkish Sexual Esteem subscale of Multidimensional Sexuality Questionnaire in men and women and 2 to examine the association of fertility and sexual esteem in Turkish women. Material and Methods: The full sample was utilized for the psychometric validation, that is reliability and construct validity of the Turkish Sexual Esteem subscale, consisting of 335 men and women. A subsample consisting of 214 fertile and infertile Turkish women, was used for the association study. Data were collected by an online questionnaire. We performed descriptive statistics on both samples; confirmatory factor analysis was applied to test psychometric properties of the Sexual Esteem Subscale, while the associations in fertile and infertile women were evaluated by means of linear regression analysis. Results: The reliability was supported by significant factor loadings and several goodness-of-fit indices. When comparing sexual esteem in infertile women with fertile women, we found that infertile women had higher sexual esteem than fertile women. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Sexual Esteem subscale is valid and reliable in the Turkish population. The association between fertility and sexual esteem needs to be further investigated in larger samples and in different settings.
