Data analysis
The number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation values are provided
in the descriptive statistics of the study data. The numeric data
fitness for normal distribution was evaluated with skewness (between
-1.16 and 1.33) and kurtosis (between -.55 and 1.23) and was determined
to have a normal distribution. To compare the differences among the
pregnant women’s mean scores of PBSES based on independent variables,
the t-test and Mann-Whitney U test (n<30) were used in
independent groups based on the sample number in two-group variables,
and one-sided variance analysis (advanced analysis Tukey HSD) and
Kruskal-Wallis test analysis were used for independent groups in the
variables with three or more groups. The relation between the numeric
independent variables and the pregnant women’s PSES scores was analyzed
with method. The independent variables having an effect on PBSES scores
in primary analyses were evaluated with the multiple regression
(backward method) analysis. The significance level was accepted to be
p<.05.
