10-Item Greek Birth Satisfaction Scale--Revised

The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the hospital birth satisfaction scale with data from the first follow-up interview of the Birth in Brazil survey. The 11 questions of the scale were asked by telephone up to six months after discharge in a stratified random sample of 16,109 women residing in all five regions of the country. The sample was randomly divided into two halves. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to the first half in order to identify the scale’s factorial structure. The scree plot suggested the scale to be one-dimensional. The EFA demonstrated a good fit of the one-dimensional model. Factor loadings were greater than 0.5 for all items, except for the mean time transpired between leaving the home and arriving at the maternity hospital, which was excluded from the next analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis applied to the sample’s second half with the remaining ten items had a good fit and the factor loadings were > 0.50 with p-values < 0.001. The associations between birth satisfaction and the external variables, the mother’s education level (standardized coefficient = 0.073; p = 0.035), private insurance (SC = 0.183; p < 0.001) and having a companion at some point during the hospitalization for labor (SC = 0.193; p = 0.001) were all as expected. There was evidence of configural and metric invariance according to type of hospital (private or public) and type of delivery (cesarean or vaginal). These results showed that the hospital birth satisfaction scale in Brazil is a one-dimensional instrument composed of ten items.

Birth Satisfaction

Uvod: Zadovoljstvo je kompleksen pojem, ki ga velikokrat zasledimo pri ocenjevanju porodne izkušnje. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšne so izkušnje žensk v Sloveniji z vidika zadovoljstva z nudeno obporodno obravnavo. Metode: V neeksperimentalni kvantitativni raziskavi je bila porabljena slovenska verzija anketnega vprašalnika Birth Satisfaction Scale – Revised (Cronbach α = 0,81). Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo s pomočjo spletnega anketnega vprašalnika v februarju 2017. V priložnostnem vzorcu je bila zajeta 301 ženska, ki je v letu 2016 rodila v Sloveniji. Podatki so bili analizirani z deskriptivno statistiko, Mann-Whitneyevim U-testom in Spearmanovim korelacijskim koeficientom. Rezultati: Ugotovitve kažejo, da število porodov (U = 6802, p = 0,150), izobrazba (U = 7493, p = 0,317) in starost (U = 5142, p = 0,061) ter prisotnost obporodnega partnerja (U = 2841, p = 0,730) niso statistično pomembno povezani z ocenjevanjem zadovoljstva. Vpliv števila porodov je bil ugotovljen le v povezavi z izvedenim carskim rezom, pri tem je bila ugotovljena nižja stopnja zadovoljstva pri prvorodnicah v primerjavi z mnogorodnicami (U = 430, p = 0,001). Statistično pomembne razlike na ravni celotnega vzorca smo ugotovili v povezavi zadovoljstva in kraja bivanja, bolj zadovoljne so bile ženske, ki živijo na podeželju (U = 7029, p = 0,039). Medsebojno zmerno statistično povezanost smo ugotovili tudi za profesionalno komunikacijo in manjšo zaskrbljenost porodnice (rs = 0,397, p = 0,000). Diskusija in zaključek: Ugotovitve kažejo, da so zdravstveni delavci, prisotni pri porodu, ključni dejavnik za dosego pozitivne porodne izkušnje. Pridobljeni rezultati odpirajo priložnost za nadaljnje raziskave v smeri komunikacije in odnosa zdravstvenih delavcev s porodnico.

Abstract Abstract Background: Asking patients/clients what they perceive about the care and treatment they have received is one of the important steps towards improving the quality of health care. However, little is known about the birth experiences of partners in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare the birth satisfaction of mothers and partners and its determinant factors in the study area. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from Dec 2018 to January 2019 in University of Gondar referral hospital. The birth satisfaction scale is used for the mother, and it was adapted to the partners’ perspective. Paired-samples t tests were used for comparing mothers and partners for the birth satisfaction scales global and thematic scores. A binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify predicting factors for mothers’ and partners satisfaction. Results: The overall satisfaction of mothers in this study was 47.6 % whereas 41.2% of partners were satisfied by delivery room services. There were mean difference between mothers and partners’ birth satisfaction scale (p=0.02). Maternal satisfaction scale was affected by age [OR = 0.36, 95%CI (0.18, 0.73 )], perception [OR =0.02, 95%CI (0.00,0.09)], waiting time [OR = 0.11 , 95%CI (0.00, 0.09)],visiting mode [OR = 0.01 , 95%CI (0.00,0.08)], pregnancy status [OR = 0.04, 95%CI (0.01 ,0.33)] and fatal outcome [OR=0.00, 95%CI (0.00,0.018)] .whereas, partners satisfaction was associated with age [OR=0.16,95%CI (0.05 0.49)], occupational status [OR = 0.02, 95%CI (0.00, 0.24), amount of money to pay for service [OR = 2.87, 95%CI (1.07, 7.71), visiting mode of his wife [OR = 0.08, 95%CI (0.01, 0.35)], waiting time [OR = 0.12, 95%CI (0.04, 0.33)], privacy [OR = 10.61, 95%CI (3.00, 37.52)], mode of delivery of his wife [OR = 7.69, 95%CI (3.00, 19.69)]. Conclusion : This study indicated that overall level of satisfaction of mothers and their partners is very low compared to other similar hospitals in the country and mothers were more satisfied than partners’ by delivery room service.
