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.
