dc.description.abstractIntroduction. Caesarean section is an alternative to normal birth and is performed through an incision. Caesarean section can be a method applied in cases of necessity, but it can also be applied in cases where it is not mandatory. Aim. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of women towards caesarean section. Methods. In this regard, 437 women of reproductive age between 18-49 residing in Esenyurt district of Istanbul province were included in the study. In the study, a 42-question survey was first drafted. After receiving expert opinion and conducting a pilot study, a draft survey consisting of 32 questions was applied to the participants in person. Firstly, explanatory factor analysis was applied to the data. Following the analysis, 12 questions that were not collected under any dimension were removed from the scale and 5 factors including 20 questions were found. After this stage, Confirmatory Factor Analysis was applied to the identified factors. Results. It was determined that the model obtained was a perfect fit for the data. Therefore, the scale developed by exploratory factor analysis was con-firmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s coefficient of the developed scale was calculated as 0.820 and it was concluded that it was highly reliable. Conclusion. It was decided that the developed scale could be used to measure women’s attitudes towards caesarean section. © 2024, University of Applied Health Sciences Zagreb. All rights reserved.
