Methods: The population of this methodological study consisted of 280 mothers who were referred to the postpartum service of a public hospital in eastern Turkey. Linguistic validity, context validity, and pilot practice studies regarding the PCMCS that could be used in the first nine postpartum weeks were per formed. Explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to assess the construct validity of the form. Reliability of PCMCS was tested through the Cronbach’s ? internal consistency coeffi cient, total item correlation, and test–retest analysis. Results: The Turkish version of the PCMCS a 21-item scale with three sub-dimensions was obtained. These three sub-dimensions found as a result of explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported the scale structure. Cronbach’s ? reliability coefficient scale was adequate for total and sub dimensions. Conclusion: Turkish version of PCMCS was found to be a valid and reliable instrument to be used for assessing the person-centered maternity care for women in the postpartum periodeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmaternity carePCMCperson-centered careperson-centered maternity care scalereliability and validityTurkish adaptationArticle10.1111/jog.14913479112342786672-s2.0-85110716252WOS:000674179500001Q4
