Abstract

Introduction: In pregnant women, the rate of falling is similar to that of women older than 70 years. According to the literature review, there is no risk of falling assessment tool that is specific to pregnancy. The aim of the study was to develop a risk of falling assessment scale for pregnant women.

Methods: This is a methodological study. The study's population consisted of pregnant women who sought follow-up care at a state hospital's maternity ward between November 2016 and November 2017. The study sample included 630 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and volunteered for the study. The Pregnant Women Information Form and Assessment Scale for Risk of Falling in Pregnant Women were used as data collection tools.

Results: During the scale development process, an item pool draft of 63 questions was developed and submitted to 10 experts for feedback. The findings of the content validity analysis revealed that the average of the items was 0.95, validity was good, and the number of items on the scale was reduced to 42 according to the experts' suggestions. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.604 (moderately reliable). It was discovered that the CART and QUEST algorithms on the scale were successful models for estimating the status of falls in pregnant women.

Conclusion: A 42-item assessment scale for the risk of falling in pregnant women was developed, and it was determined that the scale was a valid and reliable tool.

孕妇跌倒风险评估量表的制定。
孕妇的下降率与70岁以上妇女的下降率相似。根据文献综述,没有专门针对妊娠的跌倒风险评估工具。这项研究的目的是为孕妇制定一个风险下降的评估量表。方法:本研究为方法学研究。该研究的人群包括2016年11月至2017年11月期间在州立医院产科病房寻求后续护理的孕妇。研究样本包括630名符合纳入标准并自愿参加研究的孕妇。采用《孕妇信息表》和《孕妇跌倒风险评估量表》作为数据收集工具。结果:在量表编制过程中,编制了63个问题的题库草案,并提交给10位专家进行反馈。内容效度分析结果显示,量表的平均题数为0.95,效度较好,根据专家建议将量表的题数减少到42个。量表的Cronbach α系数为0.604,为中等信度。研究发现,该量表上的CART和QUEST算法是估计孕妇跌倒状况的成功模型。结论:编制了42项孕妇跌倒风险评估量表,确定该量表是一种有效、可靠的工具。
