Abstract

Objective: It is important to provide adequate antenatal care (ANC) for the lowest maternal- fetal complications in pregnancy. The increase in the level of health literacy increases the quality of the ANC, and compliance with the follow-up. To develop a tool to evaluate health literacy (HL) levels of pregnant women in antenatal care (ANC). Methods: This study is methodological research conducted between 15.02.2016-01.07.2018. "Health Literacy Assessment Tool related to Antenatal Care (HLAT-ANC)" was developed. Its validity-reliability was tested by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), concurrent criterion validity, intergroup dissociation, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and determination of the Kuder-Richardson-20 (KR-20) coefficient. Results: The discrimination coefficients of the items in HLAT-ANC varied between 0.20- 0.57 and factor loads between 0.34-0.85. It was determined that HLAT-ANC has KR-20≥0.85 in each subdomain. The scores of fit criteria obtained in the confirmatory factor analysis were within acceptable limits. Conclusions: HLAT-ANC was found to be a valid and reliable scale.

Özet

Amaç: Gebelikte maternal-fetal komplikasyonları en aza indirmek için yeterli doğum öncesi bakım (DÖB) alınması önemlidir. Sağlık okuryazarlık (SOY) düzeyinin yükseltilmesi, DÖB’nin kalitesini ve takibe uyumu arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada gebelerin DÖB ile ilgili SOY düzeylerini değerlendirme aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 15.02.2016-01.07.2018 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilen metadolojik bir araştırmadır. Doğum Öncesi Bakıma İlişkin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Değerlendirme Aracı (DÖB-SOY)" geliştirildi. Geçerlik ve güvenirlik için, madde analizi, açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), eşzamanlı ölçüt geçerliliği, gruplar arası ayrışma, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ve Kuder-Richardson-20 (KR-20) katsayısı hesaplandı. Bulgular: DÖB-SOY’un maddelerinin ayırt edicilik katsayıları 0.20-0.57 arasında, faktör yükleri 0.34-0.85 arasında değişmektedir. KR-20, herbir alt alanda ≥0.85 olarak hesaplandı. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde elde edilen uyum kriterlerinin puanları kabul edilebilir sınırlar içindedir. Sonuç: DÖB-SOY geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracıdır.
