Abstract

The article discusses a study conducted by researchers at Golestan University of Medical Sciences focused on developing a scale to measure Empty Nest Syndrome (ENS), which refers to parents' reactions when their children leave home. The study utilized Waltz's four-phase approach to design the measurement instrument, assessing its psychometric properties, including validity and reliability, through a sample of 550 participants. The research resulted in a refined scale with 37 items, demonstrating adequate validity and reliability, which can aid healthcare providers in diagnosing and addressing issues related to ENS. The findings contribute to a better understanding of this culturally significant syndrome. [Extracted from the article]
