Abstract
Background and Purpose: This study was conducted to adapt the Medication Information Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women into Turkish. Methods: This study was designed as a methodological study, and the sample consisted of 279 pregnant women. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the fit indices were within acceptable ranges. For reliability evaluation, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha = .872), intraclass correlation coefficient (.872), Hotelling's T2 test (F = 21.252, p = .000), standard error of measurement (5.11 ≤ 7.9), and floor-ceiling effect analysis (min. frequency = 0.4%, max. frequency = 0.4%) were assessed. Conclusion: The Medication Information Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women, consisting of 5 subdimensions and 20 items, was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
