Öz
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the reliability and validity of the Scale for the Assessment of Pregnant Women's Knowledge, Attitude and Practices Related to Urinary Incontinence to adapt it into Turkish.
Methods: The sample of the methodological type study consisted of 240 pregnant women. For the validity and reliability of the Scale, content and language validity, item analysis (item difficulty index and item discrimination index), independent sample t-test (whether the item discrimination index differs), scale item-total score analysis and Kuder-Richardson Coefficient were used.
Results: The Turkish adapted Scale has 18 items (knowledge-nine, attitude-five, practice-four). The Kuder-Richardson coefficient of the knowledge subscale was 0.85, the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of the attitude subscale was 0.79, and the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of the practice subscale was 0.92.
Conclusions: Five items (knowledge= item 5; attitude= items 12, 13, 15; practice= item 19) were removed from the Turkish version of the scale and it was determined that the final scale can be used to determine the knowledge, attitude and practices related to urinary incontinence in pregnant women.
