This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Women's Perception of Respectful Maternity Care Scale. This methodological, cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2020 and July 2021. The sample of the study consisted of 259 women who had vaginal birth and gave birth to a healthy baby with normal birth weight. Data analysis and evaluation were performed using factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, split-half, item-total score correlation, Hotelling T2, Tukey's test and ceiling and floor effect of the scale. The scale consists of 19 items and three sub-dimensions. The scales explained 76.04 percent of the total variance. In both exploratory and confirmatory factor tests, the overall factor loading was greater than 0.30. In the confirmatory factor analysis, all the goodness-of-fit indexes were greater than 0.90, and the root mean square error of approximation was less than 0.08. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.96, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging between 0.88 and 0.95 for the subscales. In conclusion, this scale can be used by nurses, midwives and other health professionals as a valid and reliable measurement tool to evaluate women's perception of respectful maternity care.
