Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study was to adapt the Maternal Ambivalence Scale (MAS) to Turkish culture and to conduct validity and reliability studies.

Design

The sample of the methodological type consisted of women (n = 302) who applied to the outpatient clinics of a university hospital in the north of Türkiye.

Methods

The data of the study were collected with the Personal Information Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 and MAS. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyse the data, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total correlation were used to analyse internal consistency.

Results

Language validity of the scales was ensured by the translation–back-translation method and content validity according to expert opinions. It was found that MAS consists of three sub-dimensions as the original structure, factor loadings are above 0.30 and the explained variance is 55.219%. It was found that the fit index values of the scale were x2/SD value 2.74, CFI 0.895, RMSA 0.0761 and SRMR 0.0679 and the model was acceptable. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of MAS was found to be 0.824, and the mean score was 23.04 ± 6.96.

Conclusion

It was determined that Turkish MAS is valid and reliable measurement tool.

土耳其版母亲矛盾心理量表的效度和信度。

目的：本研究的目的是使母亲矛盾心理量表（MAS）适应土耳其文化，并进行效度和信度研究。设计：方法学类型的样本包括申请到 rkiye北部一所大学医院门诊诊所的妇女（n = 302）。方法：采用《个人信息表》、《抑郁焦虑压力量表-21》和MAS量表收集研究资料。数据分析采用解释性和验证性因子分析，内部一致性分析采用Cronbach’s alpha系数和项目-总量相关分析。结果：量表的语言效度采用翻译反翻译法，内容效度采用专家意见。结果发现，MAS与原结构一样由三个子维度组成，因子载荷均在0.30以上，解释方差为55.219%。结果表明，量表的拟合指标值为x2/SD值2.74，CFI为0.895，RMSA为0.0761，SRMR为0.0679，模型可以接受。MAS的Cronbach's α信度系数为0.824，平均得分为23.04±6.96。结论：土耳其MAS是一种有效、可靠的测量工具。
