Women's childbirth experience is an outcome indicator for evaluating maternity care. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (P-CEQ). The study recruited two hundred and fifty primiparous postpartum women in the 1-3 months following birth from one private and three public hospitals in Mazandaran province, Iran. First, face validity and content validity were evaluated. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted, and discriminant validity was assessed by applying the known-groups method. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was measured to confirm the stability and Cronbach's alpha to confirm the internal consistency. CFA also confirmed the values of fit indices (RMSEA = 0.05, SRMSR = 0.06, CFI >0.93, /df = 1.80). ICC was 0.88 and Cronbach's alpha for all items was 0.85. Furthermore, discriminant validity of the P-CEQ was approved given that it effectively differentiated women whose stay in the labor unit exceeded twelve hours from those with a shorter stay. The P-CEQ questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing childbirth experiences. It is an easy-to-use questionnaire that can be used for evaluating quality of care in terms of women's childbirth experience. It can be used in maternity services that aim to improve quality of care during labor and childbirth.
妇女的分娩体验是评估产科护理的结果指标。本研究评估了波斯语版分娩体验问卷（P-CEQ）的心理测量特性。该研究从伊朗马赞达兰省的一家私立医院和三家公立医院招募了 250 名产后 1-3 个月的初产妇。首先，评估了表面效度和内容效度。此外，还进行了验证性因素分析（CFA），并通过应用已知群体法评估了判别有效性。采用组内相关系数（ICC）来确认稳定性，采用克朗巴赫α系数来确认内部一致性。CFA 还确认了拟合指数的值（RMSEA=0.05、SRMSR=0.06、CFI>0.93、 / df=1.80）。ICC 为 0.88，所有项目的克朗巴赫α系数为 0.85。此外，鉴于 P-CEQ 有效地区分了在分娩单位停留时间超过 12 小时的女性和停留时间较短的女性，因此批准了其判别有效性。P-CEQ 问卷是评估分娩体验的有效且可靠的工具。它是一种易于使用的问卷，可用于评估妇女分娩体验方面的护理质量。它可用于旨在改善分娩期间和分娩期间护理质量的产科服务。
