Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Positive Birth Perception Awareness Scale

  Positive Birth Perception Awareness Scale (PDAFS): Focus group interviews will be held with 10-12 pregnant women for the scale to be developed. An item pool will be created from the themes and sub-areas obtained from the interviews. In addition, the factors affecting the awareness of positive birth perception of pregnant women were examined by examining the national and international literature, and a form will be prepared for the pilot study. The scale form, the literature study of the researchers and the findings of the focus group interviews will be re-evaluated and the pilot study form of the scale will be prepared. The pilot study form will be submitted to the expert opinion. The pilot form will be sent to 10-12 experts. By making arrangements in line with expert opinions, the question pool will be finalized before the application, and it will be transformed into a 5-point Likert scale model
