The instrument consisted of 25 items.RESULTS:
A factorial analysis with Varimax rotation was carried out. Four factors were confirmed disadvantages (alpha = 0.769), advantages (alpha = 0.839), physiological (alpha = 0.659), and psychological (alpha = 0.711).CONCLUSION:
This instrument shows good internal consistency, and measures four climacteric belief groups a) beliefs on disadvantages, b) beliefs on advantages, c) beliefs on physiological ailments, and d) beliefs on psychological symptoms.
