Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measuring pregnancy distress of pregnant women	The Cronbach Alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.83. The scale, which can be applied to pregnant women who are twelve weeks and older, consists of 16 items and is graded as a 4-point Likert scale. The total score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 48. A total score of 28 and above according to the cut-off point indicates that the pregnant woman is at risk for distress. The scale has 2 sub-dimensions as "negative affect" consisting of 11 items and "partner participation" consisting of 5 items. Items 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 in the scale belong to peer involvement, other items belong to negative affect.	two months
Secondary	Measuring pregnant women's perception of maternal role	The internal consistency reliability of the scale was found to be between 0.81-0.85. The validity and reliability study of the scale was adapted to Turkish society by Çalisir The scale consists of 11 semantic opposite adjective pairs with 22 items and seven points, which analyze the concept of Me as a Mother. These 11 items are distributed within the 22 item opposite adjective pairs in the scale. Three items were evaluated with reverse scoring to avoid the possibility of bias while the participant was answering the questions. Items 3, 7 and 8 were evaluated over 1 point instead of 7 points. The lowest score is 11 and the highest score is 77. High total scores from the scale indicate positive motherhood self-assessment. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the Semantic Difference Scale-Me as a Mother scale was determined as 0.73-0.74.	two months
