Abstract:
Objective:To translate the English version of the Questionnaire Assessing the Childbirth Experience (QACE) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity, enriching the evaluation tools used for delivery experience in China, providing guidance for medical personnel to evaluate the delivery experience of mothers, and providing reference for improving the delivery experience of mothers in the future.Methods:Based on Beaton ′s cross-cultural debugging guide, the Chinese version of QACE was developed, including correct translation, comprehensive, back translation, expert consultation and pre-test. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire survey was carried out on 235 participants who visited the postpartum clinic in West China Second Hospital, Sichuan University and Mianyang Central Hospital. Results:In 235 participants, aged 20-29 years old with 79 cases, aged 30-39 years old with 152 years old, aged 40-43 years old with 4 cases. The Chinese version of QACE consisted of 4 dimensions (emotional state, relationship with medical staff, first time spent with newborns, and feelings after 1 month postpartum) and 13 items. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.812, the Cronbach α coefficient of each dimension was 0.661-0.844, and the broken half reliability was 0.527. The scale level content validity index was 0.95. Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.682%. Conclusions:The Chinese version of QACE has significant reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate maternal delivery experiences.
