Abstract

Objective

In this study, authors aimed to develop a scale to evaluate workplace breastfeeding support.

Methods

The study was carried out with 490 working women who applied to the women's and children's outpatient clinics of a hospital in Turkey. The study data were collected by using a 'Personal Information Form' and the 'Workplace Breastfeeding Support for Working Women Draft Scale'. The data were analyzed on SPSS 25 and AMOS 21 software packages. In the development process of the scale; Content validity, exploratory factor analysis, item-total score correlation methods and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient were used.

Results

The content validity index of the scale was 0.90, and the Cronbach's alpha value was 0.93. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of the scale was 0.91, Bartlett test values were χ2 = 11,573.924 and p < 0.000. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis for the construct validity of the scale, the scale consisted of 31 items and 6 factors.

Conclusions

The developed scale can be used to evaluate workplace breastfeeding support for working women as a valid and reliable measurement tool.

职场女性母乳喂养支持:一项规模发展研究

目的在本研究中，作者旨在制定一个评估工作场所母乳喂养支持的量表。方法对土耳其某医院妇幼门诊490名在职妇女进行调查。研究数据是通过使用“个人信息表”和“职场女性母乳喂养支持草案量表”收集的。数据在SPSS 25和AMOS 21软件包上进行分析。在规模的发展过程中；采用内容有效性、探索性因素分析、项目总分相关方法和Cronbachα系数。结果量表的内容有效性指数为0.90，克朗巴赫α值为0.93。量表的Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin值为0.91，Bartlett检验值为χ2=11573.924；0.000。根据对量表结构有效性的探索性因素分析结果，该量表由31个项目和6个因素组成。结论该量表可作为一种有效、可靠的测量工具，用于评估职场女性的母乳喂养支持情况。
