It is possible to score between 9 and 45 on the scale. An increase in the scores obtained from the scale represents a high level of comfort.
- Posttraumatic Growth Inventory [At the enf of the delivery (In the 24 th hours)]
A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 105 points can be obtained from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, it is thought that the level of post-traumatic development is higher.
