The Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (W-DEQ-B) is an instrument that allows the experiences around fear of childbirth to be examined after the birth. It is currently the most widely used to measure different aspects related to the fear of childbirth and enables healthcare and additional assistance to women after birth to be adapted according to their needs. The objective of this study was to translate the W-DEQ-B into Spanish and analyse its reliability and validity. The study was carried out in two phases: (1) transcultural adaption of the questionnaire to Spanish and (2) a transversal study in a sample of 190 postpartum women from Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinics in the province of Barcelona (Spain). The psychometric properties were examined in terms of reliability (internal consistency and temporal stability) and construct validity (confirmatory factorial analysis [CFA] and exploratory factorial analysis [EFA]). The results of the CFA did not confirm unidimensionality of the W-DEQ-B questionnaire. The EFA suggested four very similar, but not identical, dimensions to those obtained in other studies in which the W-DEQ-B has been evaluated. Both the Cronbach's alpha and the omega coefficient were adequate for the total questionnaire and for each of the four dimensions. The results of this study confirm that the W-DEQ-B is multi-dimensional. In the Spanish version of the W-DEQ-B-Sp four dimensions have been identified that allow the experiences around fear of childbirth to be examined after the birth. The Spanish version of the WDEQ-B (WDEQ-B-Sp) is reliable and valid for the measurement of fear of childbirth in clinical practice and for use in future research.
维伊玛分娩预期/体验问卷（W - DEQ - B）是一种工具，可用于在分娩后检查与分娩恐惧相关的体验。它是目前用于测量与分娩恐惧相关不同方面最广泛使用的工具，能够使产后对女性的医疗保健和额外援助根据她们的需求进行调整。本研究的目的是将W - DEQ - B翻译成西班牙语，并分析其信度和效度。该研究分两个阶段进行：（1）将问卷进行跨文化改编以适应西班牙语；（2）在来自西班牙巴塞罗那省性与生殖健康诊所的190名产后女性样本中进行横向研究。从信度（内部一致性和时间稳定性）和结构效度（验证性因子分析[CFA]和探索性因子分析[EFA]）方面检查心理测量特性。CFA的结果未证实W - DEQ - B问卷的单维度性。EFA表明有四个维度与其他评估W - DEQ - B的研究中获得的维度非常相似，但并不完全相同。克朗巴哈系数（Cronbach's alpha）和欧米伽系数（omega coefficient）对于整个问卷以及四个维度中的每一个都足够。本研究结果证实W - DEQ - B是多维度的。在W - DEQ - B的西班牙语版本W - DEQ - B - Sp中，已确定了四个维度，可用于在分娩后检查与分娩恐惧相关的体验。W - DEQ - B的西班牙语版本（W - DEQ - B - Sp）在临床实践中测量分娩恐惧以及在未来研究中使用是可靠且有效的。
