Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to develop the “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Scale-Mother Form” (SIDSAS-MF) and assess its psychometric properties.

Design and methods

The methodological study involved mothers (n = 450) with infants aged 0–12 months. Data were collected using a socio-demographic information form and the draft of the SIDSAS-MF. Factor analysis and reliability analyses were conducted to assess the data.

Results

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the scale revealed a structure consisting of six items and two sub-dimensions. The factor loadings of the scale were found to be above 0.30. Fit indices following CFA were achieved at excellent levels. Both McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha values for each sub-dimension of the scale exceeded 0.6. Furthermore, the correlation values of the items with the total factor score ranged from 0.661 to 0.839.

Conclusions

The study concluded that the six-item form of the SIDSAS-MF is a valid and reliable measurement tool for mothers with infants aged 0–12 months in the Turkish population.

Practical implications

Midwives and nurses can use this scale in their clinical training to determine the level of awareness mothers have towards SIDS. It is also recommended that the developed scale should be adapted to different cultures.

婴儿猝死综合征认知量表--母亲表的编制及其心理测量学特性研究

目的本研究旨在开发 "婴儿猝死综合症认知量表--母亲表"（SIDSAS-MF），并评估其心理测量学特性。使用社会人口信息表和 SIDSAS-MF 初稿收集数据。结果量表的探索性因子分析（EFA）和确认性因子分析（CFA）显示了由六个项目和两个子维度组成的结构。量表的因子载荷高于 0.30。CFA 后的拟合指数达到极佳水平。量表各子维度的麦氏欧米茄值和克朗巴赫α值均超过了 0.6。此外，各项目与总因子得分的相关值介于 0.661 和 0.839 之间。结论该研究得出结论，针对土耳其人群中 0-12 个月婴儿的母亲，SIDSAS-MF 的六项目形式是一种有效且可靠的测量工具。此外，还建议将所开发的量表适用于不同的文化背景。
