To translate and culturally adapt the Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale (PBCCS) scale into Turkish (T- PBCCS) and determine its psychometric properties. This reliability and validity study was conducted with 150 midwives between April and September 2024. The 150 active midwives completed the information form and the T-PBCCS forms. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor structure consistent with the theoretical framework, explaining 70.07% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for the six-factor model. The Cronbach's a value of the scale was .92 and the test-retest reliability coefficient was .99. Some statements in the original structure of the scale were excluded from the scale because they could not be adequately validated in Turkish culture. The results of the statistical analyses of the Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale adapted to Turkish culture showed that it gave valid and reliable results in Turkish culture.

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving01:17

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Socioemotional Development during Infancy01:30

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.
