Doğum Döneminde Algılanan Partner Desteği Ölçeği Geliştirme Çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadınların algılarına dayanarak Doğum Döneminde Algılanan Partner Desteği Ölçeği'nin psikometrik özelliklerini geliştirmek ve test etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem Bu metodolojik çalışma için Türkiye'de 0-12 aylık bebek sahibi 368 gönüllü anneden veriler çevrimiçi olarak toplandı. Literatür taraması ve odak grup görüşmelerinin ardından 57 madde oluşturuldu. Bu maddelere dayanarak Doğum Döneminde Algılanan Partner Desteği Ölçeği (PPSSMP) geliştirildi ve psikometrik olarak test edildi. Bulgular: Açımlayıcı faktör analizi üç boyutla sonuçlandı: (1) duygusal destek, (2) bebek bakımında destek ve (3) günlük yaşam pratiklerinde destek. Açıklanan toplam varyans %60,64'tür. Ölçeğin tamamı için alfa katsayısı 0,837 iken, birinci, ikinci ve üçüncü alt ölçekler için sırasıyla 0,788, 0,460 ve 0,838 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç ve Öneriler: Psikometrik testler, Annelik Döneminde Algılanan Partner Desteği Ölçeği'nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermiştir.

A Development Study of the Perceived Partner Support Scale in Maternity Period

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Perceived Partner Support Scale in the Maternity Period, based on the perceptions of women. Methods: Data from 368 mothers with babies aged 0-12 months volunteers in Türkiye were gathered online for this methodological study. Following literature review and focus group discussions, 57 items were generated. Based on these items, the Perceived Partner Support Scale in the Maternity Period (PPSSMP) was developed and psychometrically tested. Results: Exploratory factor analysis resulted in three dimensions: (1) emotional support, (2) support in baby care, and (3) support in daily life practices. The total explained variance was 60.64%. The coefficient alpha for the entire scale was 0.837, while for the first, second, and third subscales, it was 0.788, 0.460, and 0.838, respectively. Conclusion: Psychometric tests have shown that the Perceived Partner Support Scale in the Maternity Period is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
