    (University of Rwanda College of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2024) Karaşin, Yusuf; Karagöz, Yalçin
    Background Abortion is a complex phenomenon studied not only from a health perspective, but also from a legal and social dimensions. Attitudes towards abortion have been varied significantly across different cultures and historical periods. In Turkey, where abortion is legal under specific conditions and timeframes, understanding these attitudes through the development of a standardized measurement tool can contribute meaningfully to the field. Aim This study aims to develop a reliable and valid attitude scale to measure perspectives towards abortion in a Turkish sample. Methods The study included 303 women aged 18-49 years residing in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul. The scale development process followed a rigorous methodology, including creating a draft scale, obtaining expert input, conducting a pilot application, refining the draft scale, collecting data from the sample group, and performing factor analyses. Results A three-factor structure consisting of 23 items was identified (χ2/df: 2.787, Goodness of Fit Index(GFI): 0.853, Incremental Fit Index(IFI):0.913, Comparative Fıt Index(CFI):0.912, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation(RMSEA): 0.077, Standardized Root Mean Square Residual(SRMR): 0.0751). The three factors labeled as stigma, exclusion and hear respect explained the underlying attitudes captured by the scale. Conclusion This study successfully developed valid and reliable measurement tool to assess attitudes towards abortion has been developed in a Turkish context. The scale provides an important resource for future research and contributes to the broader understanding of abortion-related attitudes. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Development of Attitude Scale Towards Caesarean Section: A Sample of Turkey
    (University of Applied Health Sciences Zagreb, 2024) Karaşin, Yusuf; Oz, Tuğba; Karagöz, Yalçin
    Introduction. Caesarean section is an alternative to normal birth and is performed through an incision. Caesarean section can be a method applied in cases of necessity, but it can also be applied in cases where it is not mandatory. Aim. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of women towards caesarean section. Methods. In this regard, 437 women of reproductive age between 18-49 residing in Esenyurt district of Istanbul province were included in the study. In the study, a 42-question survey was first drafted. After receiving expert opinion and conducting a pilot study, a draft survey consisting of 32 questions was applied to the participants in person. Firstly, explanatory factor analysis was applied to the data. Following the analysis, 12 questions that were not collected under any dimension were removed from the scale and 5 factors including 20 questions were found. After this stage, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was applied to the identified factors. Results. It was determined that the model obtained was a perfect fit for the data. Therefore, the scale developed by exploratory factor analysis was con-firmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s coefficient of the developed scale was calculated as 0.820 and it was concluded that it was highly reliable. Conclusion. It was decided that the developed scale could be used to measure women’s attitudes towards caesarean section. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
