Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale. Methods: Originally published in English and Spanish, the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale was translated into Turkish using the translation and back-translation technique. Data were obtained by face-to-face interview method with the participation of 185 volunteers between May 2021 and August 2021. The research sample consisted of women aged 18-49 who had at least a primary school education, were able to speak and understand Turkish, and had not been diagnosed with pregnancy or menopause. To determine the validity and reliability of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, and Cronbachs alpha reliability coefficient was calculated. Results: The Turkish version of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale, consisting of 14 items and three factors, is aligned with the original scale. In the model fit tests of the Turkish form of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale, χ2df  1.406, GFI  0.988, AGFI  0.983, TLI  0.993, CFI  0.995, RMSEA  0.047, and SRMR  0.077. The Cronbachs alpha coefficient of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale was found to be 0.951. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale has demonstrated validity and reliability in Turkish. The scale can be utilized as an assessment tool for evaluating the desire to avoid pregnancy.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerlik ve güvenirliğini belirlemektir. Yöntem: İngilizce ve İspanyolca dilinde yayınlanan Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin İngilizce formu ileri ve geri çeviri yöntemi kullanılarak Türkçeye çevrilmiştir. Veriler, Mayıs 2021 - Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında 185 katılımcıdan yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini; en az ilkokul mezunu, Türkçe konuşup anlayabilen, gebelik veya menopoz tanısı almamış, 18-49 yaş arasındaki kadınlar oluşturmuştur. Ölçeğin geçerliği ve güvenirliği belirlemek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve Cronbachs alfa güvenirlik katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu orijinal ölçekle uyumlu olarak 14 madde ve üç faktöre sahiptir. Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun uyum incelemesinde; model uyum incelemesi χ2df  1,406, GFI  0,988, TLI  0,993, AGFI  0,983, CFI  0,995, RMSEA  0,047 ve SRMR  0,077dir. Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin Cronbachs alfa katsayısı ise 0,951 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Gebelikten Kaçınma İsteği Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu geçerli ve güvenilirdir. Ölçek, gebelikten kaçınma isteğinin değerlendirilmesinde bir ölçüm aracı olarak kullanılabilir.
