Turkish Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability Study of the Medication Information Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women.
<b>Background and Purpose:</b> This study was conducted to adapt the Medication Information Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women into Turkish. <b>Methods:</b> This study was designed as a methodological study, and the sample consisted of 279 pregnant women. <b>Results:</b> Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the fit indices were within acceptable ranges. For reliability evaluation, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha = .872), intraclass correlation coefficient (.872), Hotelling's T<sup>2</sup> test (<i>F</i> = 21.252, <i>p</i> = .000), standard error of measurement (5.11 ≤ 7.9), and floor-ceiling effect analysis (min. frequency = 0.4%, max. frequency = 0.4%) were assessed. <b>Conclusion:</b> The Medication Information Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women, consisting of 5 subdimensions and 20 items, was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.
