摘要
Objective: to develop an instrument based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to determine the attitudes and intentions of women towards receiving antenatal care. Design: this methodological study was carried out at health centres in Isparta, Turkey. Methods: 266 pregnant women who were able to communicate, did not have a systemic disease, and who volunteered to participate were included in this study. They were chosen by a random sampling method. A Likert-type scale composed of six subfactors and 26 items was used. Results: Cronbach's alpha for the Antenatal Care Scale (ANCS) was 0.96, and values for the six subfactors were between 0.88 and 0.94. Conclusions: the ANCS was found to be a valid and reliable instrument to determine the attitudes and intentions of women towards receiving antenatal care. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
