Amaç: Bu çalışma “Adölesan Annelerde Emzirme Destek İhtiyaçları Ölçeği” nin Türkçe’ ye uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Yöntemler: Kesitsel ve metodolojik tasarımda yürütülen çalışmaya 15-20 yaş aralığında 140 adölesan anne dahil edilmiştir. Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesindeki bir ikinci basamak sağlık kuruluşunda uygulanan çalışmada örneklem seçimi, gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu ve Adölesan Annelerde Emzirme Destek İhtiyaçları Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin dil geçerliliği uzman görüşleri ile sağlanmış ve kapsam geçerliliği değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde faktör analizi, Cronbach alfa ve madde analizleri uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda ölçek 17 madde ve üç alt boyuttan oluşmuştur. Alt boyutlar (1) Değerlendirme ve Bilgilendirme, (2) Emzirme Davranışına Destek ve (3) Bireysel Emzirme Desteği olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizine göre, model uyum indeksleri x²⁄SD=2,579, GFI=0,805, CFI=0,865, NFI=0,800, RMSEA=0,076 olarak hesaplanmış ve modelin iyi uyum gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Maddelerin faktör yükleri 0,486-0,855 arasındadır. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa katsayısı 0,911 olarak bulunmuş olup, korelasyon katsayıları 0,326 ile 0,762 arasında değişmektedir.

Sonuç: Analizler, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu ölçek, adölesan annelerin emzirme sürecindeki destek ihtiyaçlarını belirlemek ve sağlık çalışanlarının bu ihtiyaçları ne ölçüde karşıladığını değerlendirmek için uygun bir araç olabilir.

Turkish Version of Supportive Needs of Adolescents Breastfeeding Scale: A Reliability and Validity Study

Öz

Objective: To adapt the “Supportive Needs of Adolescents Breastfeeding Scale (SNAB)” into Turkish and determine its validity and reliability.

Methods: This cross-sectional and methodological study was conducted with 140 adolescent mothers aged 15-20. The sample selection in the study, which was conducted in a secondary health care institution in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Türkiye, was carried out on a voluntary basis. The data were collected using a descriptive information form and the Supportive Needs of Adolescents Breastfeeding Scale. The language validity of the scale was ensured through expert opinions, and content validity was evaluated. Factor analysis, Cronbach's Alpha analysis, and item analysis were used to evaluate the data.

Results: As a result of the analysis, the scale consisted of 17 items and three sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions were named as (1) Evaluation and Information, (2) Support for Breastfeeding Behavior and (3) Individual Breastfeeding Support. According to confirmatory factor analysis, model fit indices were calculated as x²⁄SD=2.579, GFI=0.805, CFI=0.865, NFI=0.800, and RMSEA=0.076 and the model showed good fit. The factor loadings of the items were between 0.486 and 0.855. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.911 and the correlation coefficients ranged between 0.326 and 0.762.

Conclusion: The analyses have showed that the Turkish version of the SNAB scale is a valid and reliable instrument. This scale may be an appropriate tool to determine the support needs of adolescent mothers during breastfeeding and to assess the extent to which health professionals meet these needs.
