Aim: This study was conducted to adapt the "Workplace Breastfeeding Support Scale" into Turkish and evaluate psychometric properties. Method: Two hundred twenty-five volunteering women aged 18 and over, working in the public sector for at least one month after the leave, having an infant aged 4-12 months, having breastfed for a while or still breastfeeding were included in the study. IBM SPSS version 22.0 and AMOS 20 programs were used for data analysis. For explanatory factor analysis (EFA), principal component, varimax vertical rotation and scree plot test were performed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: It was determined that Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.78, the item-total score correlations ranged between 0.26 and 0.65, and no item was removed from the scale. It was confirmed that the scale had a 2-factor structure as a result of EFA, and the validity of the 2-factor structure was confirmed by CFA, and the χ²/df ratio was 1.928, RMSEA value was 0.064, GFI value was 0.929, AGFI value was 0.896, and TLI was 0.908. The correlation value of the relationship between the first and second measurement results of the scale was r=0.932, and the value between the two measurements was found to be highly significant (p
