Özet
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Caesarean Intention Scale into Turkish. Methods: This research is of methodological type. 248 pregnant women participated in the study. Data were collected with the descriptive characteristics questionnaire and the Caesarean Intention Scale. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 25.0 software package and AMOS 22.0 package program. Descriptive features were calculated by number, percentage, mean and standard deviation, and content validity index based on expert opinion evaluation. The construct validity of the scale was carried out by explanatory factor analysis, and the verification of the structure was carried out by confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: The suitability of the scale for factor analysis was determined as Kaiser‐Meyer‐Olkin value .865, Bartlett Sphericity test result x2=2756.348, s.d=153, p<.001. A total of six items were removed from the exploratory factor analysis. The remaining 18 items were grouped under three dimensions and explained 55.51% of the total variance. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was found to be good according to RMSEA, GFI, CFI, NFI, TLI, IFI and AGFI fit index values. Cronbach's alpha value, which is the internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale, was found to be .821. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was concluded that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for application in Turkish culture. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
