  Dal, Nursel Alp; Beydag, Kerime Derya; Dogan, Aysel

  Objective: This research was conducted to identify the effect of the practice of Guided Imagery on the perceived stress level in high-risk pregnancies. Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, and single-blind study. The research was performed with the participation of a total of 128 women (64 in the experimental group, 64 in the control group) who had high-risk pregnancies between February-May, 2021. The data were evaluated with the Perceived Stress Scale. Results: The experimental group obtained a lower mean of post -test scores (26.36 +/- 5.96) from the Perceived Stress Scale than the control group (30.48 +/- 3.93), and this difference was statistically significant (p<.05). Also, the experimental group obtained lower mean scores from the Perceived Stress Scale in the post -test phase than the one in the pretest phase, and this difference was statistically significant (p<.05). Conclusion: Nurses and midwives should include the practice of Guided Imagery in the care processes to reduce the stress levels of women with high-risk pregnancies.

  Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale Development Study

  Dal, Nursel Alp; Beydag, Kerime Derya

  Objective: This study was carried out to develop a measurement tool that determines the factors that may be effective in women's fear of getting pregnant and to test its validity and reliability. Methods: The sample of the study, which was carried out with a methodological design, consisted of 240 sexually active women who presented to the obstetrics clinic of a hospital in the Anatolian side of Istanbul between February 1 and June 1, 2021. The draft of the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale was created by the researchers. The item pool for the draft scale consisted of 22 items. After the validity and reliability analyses, the final form of the scale contained 18 items. The scale consisted of three dimensions: physical reasons (5 items), psychological reasons (6 items), and social reasons (7 items). After evaluating the content validity of the scale, its test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were examined. Explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Bartlett's test of sphericity, Cronbach's alpha test, and Shapiro-Wilk test were used in the development of the scale. Results: In the validity and reliability study of the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was found to be .83. The total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was determined as .95, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the dimensions were .91 for physical reasons, .89 for psychological reasons, and .90 for social reasons. Conclusion: In line with these data, it was determined that the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale is a valid and reliable scale.
