Abstract
Minimizing the stress levels of pregnant women is important to giving healthy birth and raising healthy generations. Therefore, there is a need for effective methods to diagnose stress early in pregnancy.
The purpose of this research was to examine the psychometric features of the Antenatal Psychosocial Stress Scale (APSS) in pregnant Turkish women.
This methodological study was conducted on 290 pregnant women.
The Turkish version of the APSS based on Exploratory Factor Analysis was found to have 70.215 percent of the total variance. It had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.78. After the confirmatory factor analysis, the following were determined: χ2/df: 1.663, CFI: 0.978, RMSEA: 0.048, GFI: 0. 972.
The Turkish sample found the APSS to be a valid and trustworthy assessment instrument for pregnant women.
