ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fathers whose infants are cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit have negative experiences and thus require support.AIM:
This study was carried out with the aim of performing a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of the "Father's Support Scale Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" (FSS NICU).METHOD:
The study included 165 fathers whose infants were hospitalised in the neonatal intensive care units of a university hospital and a state hospital in the west of Turkey.FINDINGS:
The item-total score correlation values of the scale were between 0.26 and 0.73 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.91. It was found out that the test-retest reliability coefficients were between 0.78 and 0.92. The scale accounted for 48.38% of the total variance in three factors, as in the original version of the scale.CONCLUSION:
It was found that the Turkish version of the FSS NICU was a valid and reliable measurement tool.Key words
