To adapt the CEQ into Sri Lankan Sinhala cultural context and to determine the psychometric properties of CEQ. This would yield an opportunity to evaluate childbirth experience among Lankan population.
Out of 390, 226 (57.9%) postnatal mothers completed the CEQ after 1 month postpartum. Face validity and content validity were demonstrated with all participants stating that CEQ was easy to understand and complete. For reliability, 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). A weighted kappa of 0.61-0.80 for all 22 items in CEQ demonstrated a good test-retest reliability. This Sri Lankan version showed fit statistics in line with standard recommendations in exploratory factor analysis. Women with spontaneous onset of labour (except for "professional support" in women with spontaneous onset of labour) and women with a normal birth showed significantly higher CEQ scores. However, oxytocin augmentation could not yield a difference in CEQ scores.
将 CEQ 适应于斯里兰卡僧伽罗文化背景，并确定 CEQ 的心理测量特性。这将为评估兰卡人群的分娩体验提供机会。
在 390 名产后母亲中，有 226 名（57.9%）在产后 1 个月完成了 CEQ。所有参与者都表示 CEQ 易于理解和完成，从而证明了其表面效度和内容效度。对于可靠性，CEQ 的总分（0.85）和四个领域（“自身能力”、“专业支持”、“感知安全”和“参与”的内部一致性可接受（分别为 0.65、0.80、0.70 和 0.83）。CEQ 所有 22 项的加权 Kappa 值为 0.61-0.80，表明具有良好的重测信度。这种斯里兰卡版本的拟合统计数据符合探索性因素分析的标准建议。自发性分娩的女性（自发性分娩女性的“专业支持”除外）和正常分娩的女性的 CEQ 评分显著更高。然而，催产素增强并不能导致 CEQ 评分的差异。
