Women’s experiences of childbirth have a significant impact on mother and child health and well-being as well as quality of care. A valid and reliable tool is needed to assess women's experience. This study aim was to adapt the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire to the Mongolian context and assess its psychometric properties. The study conducted between October and January 2019 at the public maternity hospital in Ulaanbaatar by recruiting a total of 828 low-risk postpartum women. The response rate was 92% (n = 761). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the 4-factor model. Reliability was good for the overall instrument (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) and for individual domains (Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.45 to 0.80). The overall and domain scores were significantly higher among women who had previous birth experience, who did not receive oxytocin augmentation, and who experienced a shorter labor duration (<12 h).The Mongolian version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for exploring the childbirth experience. It can be used to promote women-centered, respectful care in maternity hospitals.

Abstract BackgroundChildbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) was developed in Sweden to assess the childbirth experience in multiple dimensions. It has been translated and validated in English, Spanish, Chinese and Persian with the aim to evaluate childbirth experience reliably. This study aimed to validate the Finnish version of the questionnaire, CEQ-FI.MethodsPrimiparous women who had given birth in Tampere University Hospital between January and May 2019 were included in the study. Women planning a cesarean delivery, delivering preterm, or women whose children were transferred to neonatal care were excluded. Eligible 450 women were mailed the questionnaire one month postpartum, and those who completed the questionnaire were mailed it again six weeks postpartum. Test-retest reliability was evaluated by computing kappa coefficients for the two responses. Background data was collected from patient records and used to perform known-groups validation. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha.ResultsOne hundred seventy-five women returned the questionnaire. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were good. Women with known risk factors for a negative childbirth experience scored lower in the questionnaire, as expected.ConclusionCEQ-FI is a valid and reliable instrument in measuring childbirth experience also among Finnish-speaking women.

Abstract Introduction The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) was initially produced to assess women’s perceptions regarding their first birth experience. A robust validated instrument to evaluate first birth experience is currently lacking in Sri Lankan obstetric practice. Objectives Main objectives of our study were to adapt the CEQ among Sri Lankan Sinhala speaking women and to determine the psychometric properties of CEQ. This would yield an opportunity to evaluate childbirth experience among our women. Method Validation study was carried out by translating the English CEQ into Sinhala language following standard methodology comprising of forward and back translation. Total of 390 postpartum women were recruited through convenience sampling method at University Unit, North Colombo Teaching Hospital, Ragama, Sri Lanka, from February 2017 to January 2018. Initially CEQ was given to be completed four weeks after delivery and again two weeks postnatal. Mothers were asked to post the completed CEQ. Face validity was tested among twenty-five postnatal mothers and with seven labour ward staff members. Psychometric properties; internal consistency and validity of the CEQ were evaluated. Known-groups validation was used for construct validity. Results A total of 226 (57.9%) of the recruited postnatal mothers completed the CEQ after one month postpartum. Face validity in Sri Lankan sample was demonstrated with all participants stating that CEQ was easy to understand and complete. Internal consistency was acceptable for the overall score (0.85) and for all four domains in CEQ (0.65, 0.80, 0.70, 0.83 for “own capacity”, “professional support”, “perceived safety” and “participation”, respectively). Women with spontaneous onset of labour (except for “professional support” in women with spontaneous onset of labour) and women with a normal delivery showed significantly higher CEQ scores. However, oxytocin augmentation could not yield a difference in CEQ scores. A weighted kappa of 0.61-0.80 for all 22 items in CEQ demonstrated a good test-retest reliability. Conclusions This study shows that Sinhala version of CEQ can be used as a reliable and valid tool of childbirth experience among Sri Lankan Sinhala speaking women.
