The purpose of the study was to adapt the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale into Turkish and to study its validity and reliability.
The methodological study design was used. The study sample consisted of 510 nonpregnant women in a university hospital of a province in the east of Turkey between the dates of August 2019-February 2020. Personal information form and Turkish form of the scale were administered to women. The contraceptive intention scale was used as a parallel form.
In the study, it was determined that the scale consisted of 14 items as a result of exploratory factor analysis. As a result of the item analysis, it was determined that the scale item total correlations were between r = 0.71 and 0.92. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.97. The item-total correlation of the scale and parallel form reliability showed a high level of agreement.
It was determined that the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the wishes of Turkish women regarding pregnancy.
本研究旨在将《避免怀孕愿望量表》（Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale）改编为土耳其语，并研究其效度和信度。
采用方法论研究设计。研究样本由 2019 年 8 月至 2020 年 2 月期间土耳其东部某省一所大学医院的 510 名未怀孕女性组成。向女性发放个人信息表和量表的土耳其语版本。同时使用避孕意愿量表作为平行形式。
研究中，通过探索性因素分析确定该量表由 14 个项目组成。通过项目分析，确定了量表项目总分相关系数在 r=0.71 到 0.92 之间。该量表的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.97。量表的项目总分相关和平行形式信度显示出高度一致。
研究结果表明，《避免怀孕愿望量表》是一种有效且可靠的测量工具，可用于确定土耳其女性对怀孕的意愿。
