To translate and culturally adapt the Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale (PBCCS) scale into Turkish (T- PBCCS) and determine its psychometric properties. This reliability and validity study was conducted with 150 midwives between April and September 2024. The 150 active midwives completed the information form and the T-PBCCS forms. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor structure consistent with the theoretical framework, explaining 70.07% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for the six-factor model. The Cronbach's a value of the scale was .92 and the test-retest reliability coefficient was .99. Some statements in the original structure of the scale were excluded from the scale because they could not be adequately validated in Turkish culture. The results of the statistical analyses of the Perinatal Bereavement Care Competence Scale adapted to Turkish culture showed that it gave valid and reliable results in Turkish culture.
