PRENATAL PATERNAL EXPECTATIONS SCALE (PPES): VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Prenatal Maternal Expectations Scale (PMES) for expectant fathers. In this context, the participants of the study were 218 expectant fathers who were going to be fathers for the first time and whose wives were in the last three months of their pregnancy. In the study, the Demographic Information Form prepared by the researchers to obtain demographic information was used; the 31-item version of the PMES, obtained by removing the items that would not meet the expectations of fathers, was used for the adaptation study of PPES; and the Father Involvement Scale (FIS) was used to examine the correlation between the PPES within the scope of construct validity. To test whether the PPES was psychometrically adequate, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, inter-dimensional and inter-scale correlations for validity, test-retest correlation and Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency analysis for reliability were performed. The results conducted within the extent of the study show that the PPES is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used for expectant fathers.
