Time frame: From baseline (pretest conducted before the Pregnancy School session) to immediately after the session (posttest).
In this study, the Awareness Scale of the Effects of Climate Change on Maternal and Fetal Health in Pregnant Women (ASCC-MFH-PW) was used to assess pregnant women's awareness of the effects of climate change on maternal and fetal health. The scale consists of 21 items and three subdimensions ("General," "Maternal," and "Fetal"). Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "1 = Strongly disagree" to "5 = Strongly agree," and there are no reverse-coded items. The total score ranges from 21 to 105, with higher scores indicating greater awareness of the effects of climate change on maternal and fetal health among pregnant women. In the original validation study, the overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged between 0.943 and 0.946, while the subscale coefficients ranged from 0.837 to 0.924 (Kısrık & Avcıbay Vurgeç, 2022).
