Cronbach's alpha coefficient of Turkish version of total Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale was 0.92. Cronbach’s alpha values of subdimensions of Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale. Turkish version was between 0.81 and 0.86. Of these x2/SD value 2.18, GFI 0.95, AGFI 0.94, CFI 0.95, RMSEA 0.077 and SRMR 0.075 were identified.
