Özet:

 Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy scale into Turkish and conduct its validity and reliability analyses. Methods: A methodological study was carried out with a total of 742 women included in the sample, and they were randomly allocated into two groups. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on sample I 462 women, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed on sample II 280 women. Among the reliability analyses, Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient, testretest analysis, and the itemtotal score correlation coefficient were administered. Results: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed on sample I, it was determined that 14 items explaining 57.262 of the total variance for the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy scale were included in one sample. According to the confirmatory factor analysis performed on sample II, the scale model was found to have good fit values. It was determined that Cronbachs alpha internal consistency coefficient obtained from the reliability analysis of the scale was .94, and the itemtotal score correlation and testretest reliability coefficients obtained after the application at 2-week intervals were at acceptable levels for the women. Conclusion: The results showed that the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy scale is valid and reliable for measures of pregnancy avoidance in women in the Turkish population.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Gebelikten Kaçınma Ölçeğini GKÖ Türkçeye uyarlamak, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini yapmaktır. Yöntemler: Örnekleme 742 kadın alındı. Örneklem grubu rasgele 2ye ayrıldı. Birinci örneklem 462 kadın grubuna Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi AFA; 2. örneklem 280 kadın grubuna Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi DFA yapıldı. Güvenirlik analizlerinden madde toplam puan korelasyon katsayısı, Cronbachs alfa güvenirlik katsayısı ve test-retest analysis bakıldı. Bulgular: Birinci örnekleme uygulanan AFAya göre GKÖnün toplam varyansın 57,262sini açıklayan 14 maddelik tek faktör altında toplandığı belirlendi. İkinci örnekleme uygulanan DFAya göre ölçek modelinin uyum değerlerinin iyi olduğu bulundu. Güvenirlik analiz sonuçlarına göre, ölçeğin Cronbachs alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısının 0,94 olduğu, madde-toplam puan korelasyon katsayı değerlerinin ve test-retest güvenilirlik katsayı değerinin örneklem için kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlar GKÖnün Türk toplumundaki kadınlarda gebelikten kaçınma ölçümleri için geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunu gösterdi.
