This study aimed to develop the "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale-Mother Form" (SIDSAS-MF) and assess its psychometric properties.
The methodological study involved mothers (n = 450) with infants aged 0-12 months. Data were collected using a socio-demographic information form and the draft of the SIDSAS-MF. Factor analysis and reliability analyses were conducted to assess the data.
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the scale revealed a structure consisting of six items and two sub-dimensions. The factor loadings of the scale were found to be above 0.30. Fit indices following CFA were achieved at excellent levels. Both McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha values for each sub-dimension of the scale exceeded 0.6. Furthermore, the correlation values of the items with the total factor score ranged from 0.661 to 0.839.
The study concluded that the six-item form of the SIDSAS-MF is a valid and reliable measurement tool for mothers with infants aged 0-12 months in the Turkish population.
Midwives and nurses can use this scale in their clinical training to determine the level of awareness mothers have towards SIDS. It is also recommended that the developed scale should be adapted to different cultures.
本研究旨在编制“婴儿猝死综合征认知量表-母亲版”（SIDSAS-MF）并评估其心理测量学特性。
该方法学研究纳入了有0至12个月婴儿的母亲（n = 450）。使用社会人口学信息表和SIDSAS-MF草案收集数据。进行因子分析和信度分析以评估数据。
该量表的探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）显示其结构由六个项目和两个子维度组成。量表的因子载荷高于0.30。CFA后的拟合指数达到了优秀水平。量表各子维度的麦克唐纳ω系数和克朗巴赫α系数均超过0.6。此外，各项目与总因子得分的相关值在0.661至0.839之间。
研究得出结论，SIDSAS-MF的六项版本是土耳其人群中针对有0至12个月婴儿的母亲的有效且可靠的测量工具。
助产士和护士可在临床培训中使用该量表来确定母亲对婴儿猝死综合征的认知水平。还建议将所编制的量表应用于不同文化背景。
