Childbirth preparation classes can reduce pregnant women's anxiety and fear for their childbirth. However, to evaluate women's feedback and their satisfaction with these classes, there is a need for a standard instrument that is suitable for Iranian context. This study is aimed to translate and conduct a psychometric analysis of the Satisfaction with the Childbirth Education Class Questionnaire (SCECQ) for Iranian population.
The questionnaire was translated from English into Persian through the forward-backward translation method. The cluster sampling method was employed to select 205 pregnant women with gestational age of 35-37 weeks from all health complexes of Tabriz, Iran. The face, content, and construct validity of the research instrument were assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were measured to evaluate the overall reliability of the questionnaire.
The impact scores of all items were above 1.5. The content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) of the questionnaire were 0.88 and 0.94, respectively. The convergent construct validity of the whole questionnaire and those of its three subscales were confirmed through the exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The factor loadings of no items were below 0.3, and the X/df ratio was smaller than 5. The overall model validity was confirmed by having the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) smaller than 0.08. Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were 0.93 and 0.96, respectively, indicating the acceptable reliability of the questionnaire.
The Persian version of this questionnaire, entitled SCECQ is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring Iranian women's satisfaction with childbirth education classes.
分娩准备课程可以减轻孕妇对分娩的焦虑和恐惧。然而，为了评估女性对这些课程的反馈及其满意度，需要一种适用于伊朗背景的标准工具。本研究旨在对伊朗人群的分娩教育课程满意度问卷（SCECQ）进行翻译并进行心理测量分析。
通过前后翻译法将问卷从英语翻译成波斯语。采用整群抽样法从伊朗大不里士的所有健康中心选取205名孕周为35 - 37周的孕妇。通过探索性和验证性因素分析评估研究工具的表面效度、内容效度和结构效度。测量内部一致性和重测信度以评估问卷的整体信度。
所有项目的影响得分均高于1.5。问卷的内容效度指数（CVI）和内容效度比（CVR）分别为0.88和0.94。通过探索性因素分析（EFA）证实了整个问卷及其三个子量表的收敛结构效度。没有项目的因素负荷低于0.3，X/df比率小于5。近似误差均方根（RMSEA）小于0.08，证实了整体模型效度。克朗巴赫α系数和组内相关系数（ICC）分别为0.93和0.96，表明问卷的信度可接受。
这份名为SCECQ的问卷的波斯语版本是一种有效且可靠的工具，用于测量伊朗女性对分娩教育课程的满意度。
