The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire is a frequently used measure in the context of childbirth. There are two versions with identical items for use during pregnancy (version A, fear of childbirth) and postpartum (version B, subjective experience) respectively. The original authors report that the measure is unidimensional, but since, very different factor structures have been found with different language versions. In this study, I tested the previously found factor structures in a sample of 338 German new mothers with confirmatory factor analysis. As none showed an adequate fit, I conducted an exploratory factor analysis, which yielded six factors with satisfactory internal consistencies.
维伊马分娩预期/体验问卷是分娩领域常用的一种测量工具。它有两个版本，分别包含相同的项目，用于孕期（A版，分娩恐惧）和产后（B版，主观体验）。原作者报告称该测量工具是单维的，但此后，不同语言版本发现了非常不同的因素结构。在本研究中，我用验证性因素分析对338名德国新妈妈样本检验了之前发现的因素结构。由于均未显示出充分的拟合度，我进行了探索性因素分析，得出了六个因素，其内部一致性令人满意。
