Objective:
This is a methodological study carried out to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Support and Control in Birth Scale (SCIB).
Methods:
This study included 339 post-partum women. The validity of the Turkish version of the scale was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Reliability was evaluated using the internal consistency coefficient, the test-retest correlation coefficient and the item correlation between the subscales.
Results:
The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.84 (p < 0.01). There were significant correlations between sub-scales (rho = 0.122, 0.129, 0.263, p < 0.05), and the test-retest correlation coefficient of the scale was also significant (rho = 0.86, α = 0.000). As in the original scale, a three-factor structure was examined, which explained 42.85% of the total variance. The model was verified by a confirmatory factor analysis.
Conclusion:
The Turkish version of the SCIB is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the perceived support and control during birth among Turkish women.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
