It is known that a positive birth experience depends on the mother's belief and confidence in her ability to successfully achieve the birth. Therefore, it is important to determine women's self-confidence and readiness for childbirth. The purpose of this study is to determine the Turkish validity and reliability and adaptation to the Turkish culture of the Preparation for Labor and Birth instrument that was developed to measure the belief and confidence of pregnant women in their ability to achieve physiological birth.
This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and methodological study. It was conducted from January 30 to June 30, 2021, with 235 healthy pregnant women who are in their third trimester. Data are collected with a sociodemographic form and the Preparation for Labor and Birth instrument (P-LAB).
The Preparation for Labor and Birth instrument consists of 22 items and four subdimensions. The scale explains 69.10% of the total variance. In explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, factor coefficients are found above 0.30, and most of the fit indices are above 0.90. Cronbach's alpha value is above 0.70 for all scales and subscales.
It is determined that the Preparation for Labor and Birth instrument is valid and reliable for the Turkish sample.
众所周知，积极的分娩体验取决于母亲对自己成功分娩能力的信念和信心。因此，确定女性对分娩的自信和准备程度非常重要。本研究的目的是确定土耳其语的有效性和可靠性，以及对开发的用于衡量孕妇对实现生理性分娩能力的信念和信心的分娩准备工具的土耳其文化适应性。
这是一项描述性、横断面和方法学研究。它于 2021 年 1 月 30 日至 6 月 30 日进行，共有 235 名健康的处于孕晚期的孕妇参加。数据是通过社会人口学表格和分娩准备工具（P-LAB）收集的。
分娩准备工具由 22 个项目和四个亚维度组成。该量表解释了总方差的 69.10%。在解释性和验证性因子分析中，因子系数大于 0.30，大多数拟合指数大于 0.90。所有量表和子量表的克朗巴赫的 alpha 值均大于 0.70。
确定分娩准备工具对土耳其样本具有有效性和可靠性。
