Abstract

Background: Emotional availability and responsiveness in intrapartum care increase women's birth satisfaction, comfort, and quality of nursing/midwifery care. In Turkey, there is no instrument for measuring emotional availability and responsiveness in intrapartum care.

Aim: An established translation, reliability, and validation approach was used to obtain the Turkish form of the A-EAR-IC scale.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was used. This study was conducted in Istanbul, Turkey. The study sample consisted of 132 Turkish midwives working in the birth room. The construct validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, whereas the concurrent scale validity was tested using the Emotional Labor Behavior Scale. Internal consistency analysis was performed to test the reliability of the scale.

Results: The results of the EAR-IC measure showed that it fit the one-factor model. The goodness-of-fit indices of the one-factor model containing eight items were acceptable. The instrument showed satisfactory content validity (I-CVI =0.80-1.00, S-CVI =0.88). According to CFA, the structure with one factor showed acceptable model fit (χ2/df: 1.74, CFI: 0.96, IFI: 0.96, RMSEA: 0.07, and SRMR: 0.02). Concurrent validity of the instrument was assessed with the "in-depth behavior" subscale of the Emotional Labor Behavior Scale for Nursing. Spearman's correlations revealed that the EAR-IC was moderately positively correlated with the in-depth behavior concern subscale of the ELBS (rho =0.62, P < 0.001).

Conclusion: The Turkish version of the EAR-IC is a suitable, effective, and reliable instrument for measuring the emotional aspects of intrapartum caregiving midwives.

土耳其版产前护理情感可用性和反应性量表 (EAR-IC) 的可靠性和有效性评估。

背景：产前护理中的情感可用性和响应性可提高产妇的分娩满意度、舒适度以及护理/助产护理的质量。目的：采用既定的翻译、可靠性和验证方法，获得 A-EAR-IC 量表的土耳其语版本：方法：采用描述性横断面研究。研究在土耳其伊斯坦布尔进行。研究样本包括 132 名在产房工作的土耳其助产士。量表的建构效度通过确认性因子分析进行检验，同时量表效度通过情绪化分娩行为量表进行检验。为测试量表的可靠性，还进行了内部一致性分析：EAR-IC 的测量结果表明，它符合单因素模型。包含 8 个项目的单因素模型的拟合优度指数是可以接受的。问卷的内容效度令人满意（I-CVI =0.80-1.00，S-CVI =0.88）。根据 CFA，单因素结构显示了可接受的模型拟合度（χ2/df：1.74，CFI：0.96，IFI：0.96，RMSEA：0.07，SRMR：0.02）。该工具与护理情感劳动行为量表的 "深入行为 "分量表进行了并行有效性评估。斯皮尔曼相关性表明，EAR-IC 与 ELBS 的 "深度行为关注 "分量表呈中度正相关（rho =0.62，P < 0.001）：土耳其版 EAR-IC 是一种适用、有效且可靠的工具，可用于测量助产士产后护理的情绪方面。
