| Popis: | This study, conducted between October 2018 and May 2019, aimed to develop an Exercise Attitude Scale in Turkish (EAS-Turkish) for pregnant women and to determine its validity and reliability. The scale was prepared in Turkish to comprehensively measure pregnant women's exercise attitudes. Then, it administered in 253 pregnant women, who were native speakers of Turkish and older than 18 years, in the Obstetrics Polyclinic at Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey. Validity with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability with test-retest and internal consistency methods were tested. The 37-item scale was found to be 2-dimensional (knowledge and benefit; barrier). All indexes of the goodness of fit (χ2/df = 2.0, Comparative Fit Index = 0.90, Goodness-of-fit Index = 0.85, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.06) indicated that the fit between the model and the sample data was acceptable. The item-total score correlations varied between r = 0.22 and 0.60. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were found as 0.90 for the whole scale, 0.91 for the knowledge and benefit sub-dimension, and 0.87 for the barrier sub-dimension. In the test-retest analysis conducted with 41 pregnant women, the reliability coefficients were detected as 0.93 for the whole scale and 0.84 for each sub-dimension. The EAS-Turkish for pregnant women was found to be a valid and reliable tool. |
