Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This methodological study was designed to determine the validity reliability of the Turkish version of Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire. METHODS: The sample of the study consisted of 400 women who have babies between the ages of 0-1 who received services from 9 different Family Health Centers in Eskisehir. The data of the study were collected using the Socio-demographic Data Form, Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Validity and reliability analyzes of the scale were performed on 387 people who answered the scale completely. RESULTS: The linguistic validity of the Birth Memory and Recall Questionnaire was determined to be sufficient after translation and back-translation, and consulting expert opinion. The content validity index of the scale was 0.95. Kaiser Mayer Olkin coefficient was calculated as 0.759, Bartlett test X2 value was calculated as 3079.458 (p <0.001). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.794 for the overall scale, while it was 0.797, 0.643, 0.760, 0.670, 0.785, and 0.725 for the sub-dimensions, respectively. The goodness of fit indexes are 0.091 for root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), 0.091 for standardized root mean square residual (SRMR), 0.85 for goodness-of-fit index (GFI), 0.91 for comparative fit index (CFI), 0.91 for incremental fit index (IFI), 0.85 for relative fit index (RFI), 0.88 for normed fit index (NFI). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It has been determined that the Turkish version of Birth Memory and Recall Questionnaire is a valid and reliable measurement tool and can be used in future researches.
