 The purpose of this research was to develop a reliable and valid intimacy scale for Japanese couples receiving fertility treatment.

 The Intimacy scale was refined by factor analysis and the final version had 57 items in five subscales ; “a feeling of basic trust”, “sexual satisfaction”, “self-expression”, “dealing with treatment together”, “sharing sorrow”. The reliability and validity were tested on 748 participants. Cronbach's alpha was .96 for the Intimacy Scale. Internal consistency was supported. Criterion-related validity was tested by using the Quality of Marriage Index and the revised UCLA Loneliness Scale. The results supported concurrent validity for the scale. Construct validity was tested by verifying of the hypothesis and by the factor analysis. Hypotheses was proved, and five factors approximated the theoretical dimensions. Therefore, construct validity was supported. “Index of deviation” was through the couples as a unit analyzed. Deviation was related to the “self-expression”.

 Although it had some problems to be solved, the results support the reliability and validity of the 57 item version of the Intimacy Scale for Japanese Infertility Couples. This research will contribute to comprehensively understanding the phenomenon on a couple's intimacy, and to provide guidance in nursing care of these couples.
