Strengths and limitations
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first in the literature to develop a scale to evaluate the emotional well-being of mothers within a certain theoretical framework and demonstrate the validity and reliability of this scale. It is recommended that the validity and reliability of this scale be tested in further studies to reach more generalizable results. A limitation of this study is that its results may not be generalized to samples in countries other than Turkey. The psychometric properties of the Maternal Emotional Well-Being Scale can be re-evaluated in different cultures.
