Reliability and Validity of the Delivery Fear Scale

Öz

Background: Fear of delivery is a widespread clinical problem and it has negative effects on the experience of delivery. The Delivery Fear Scale is useful to assess fear during delivery and to approach the birthing woman appropriately. However, psychometric analyses of the DFS have not been performed in Turkey. Objective: The aim of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Delivery Fear Scale. Method: The study is a methodological one. A total of 96 women who were admitted to the delivery room of a hospital. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Delivery Fear Scale and the State Anxiety Inventory. Results: It has been determined that the content validity index is 1.0 and that the internal consistency of the Cronbach’s alpha is .90. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it has been concluded that a single factor structure with an Eigen value of 5.2 explained 52.3% of the total variance, and the factor loadings of the scale ranged from .63 to .83. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, goodness of fit index was .94, adjusted goodness of fit index was .90, non-normed fit index was 1.00, and comparative fit index was 1.00. Conclusion: The Turkish form of the Delivery Fear Scale is an appropriate measurement tool in terms of language and content validity and can be applied to the Turkish culture and can correctly measure fear during delivery.
