Cultural adaptation, validation and evaluation of the psychometric properties of Childbirth Experience Questionnaire version 2.0 in the Spanish context.

BACKGROUND: Several instruments have been designed to assess the childbirth experience. The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is one of the most widely used tools. There is an improved version of this instrument, the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ 2.0), which has not been adapted or validated for use in Spain. The aim of present study is to adapt the CEQ 2.0 to the Spanish context and evaluate its psychometric properties. METHODS: This research was carried out in 2 stages. In the first stage, a methodological study was carried out in which the instrument was translated and back-translated, content validity was assessed by 10 experts (by calculating Aiken's V coefficient) and face validity was assessed in a sample of 30 postpartum women. In the second stage, a cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate construct validity by using confirmatory factor analysis, reliability evaluation (internal consistency and temporal stability) and validation by known groups. RESULTS: In Stage 1, a Spanish version of the CEQ 2.0 (CEQ-E 2.0) was obtained with adequate face and content validity, with Aiken V scores greater than 0.70 for all items. A final sample of 500 women participated in Stage 2 of the study. The fit values for the obtained four-domain model were RMSEA = 0.038 [95% CI: 0.038-0.042], CFI = 0.989 [95% CI: 0.984-0.991], and GFI = 0.990 [95% CI: 0.982-0.991]. The overall Omega and Cronbach's Alpha coefficients were 0.872 [95% CI: 0.850-0.891] and 0.870 [95% CI: 0.849-0.890] respectively. A coefficient of intraclass correlation of 0.824 [95% CI: 0.314-0.936] (p ≤ 0.001) and a concordance coefficient of 0.694 [95% CI: 0.523-0.811] were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish version of CEQ 2.0 (CEQ-E 2.0), has adequate psychometric properties and is a valid, useful, and reliable instrument for assessing the childbirth experience in Spanish women.

Analgesia epidural: actitud y calidad percibida por las puérperas en el Hospital Universitario Materno Infantil de Canarias / Epidural analgesia: attitude and quality perceived by puerperal women at the Hospital Universitario Materno Infantil de Canarias

Objetivo: Identificar las actitudes y la calidad subjetiva percibida por las mujeres después del uso de analgesia epidural en el parto. Metodología: Estudio transversal, observacional, descriptivo y analítico realizado en el Hospital Universitario Materno Infantil de Gran Canaria, donde la población de estudio fueron las puérperas que recibieron analgesia epidural durante el parto entre agosto y octubre de 2019. Se utilizaron un muestreo consecutivo no probabilístico y un cuestionario autoadministrado. Se realizaron un análisis descriptivo de las variables y un análisis inferencial para explorar la asociación entre diferentes variables. Resultados: La muestra final estuvo constituida por 354 mujeres. Las mujeres consideraron que la información recibida por las matronas era la más importante (57,6%), y el 20,3% percibió un retraso en la administración de analgesia epidural después de su solicitud. Se obtuvo una puntuación media respecto a la satisfacción global materna de 24,45 (desviación estándar= 4,97; máxima 28; mínima 0). Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la satisfacción global y el nivel educativo (p= 0,019*), y entre la lectura y el entendimiento previo del consentimiento informado y la satisfacción global materna (p <0,001*). La percepción de demora en la administración influye de forma negativa en la satisfacción (p= 0,003*). Conclusiones: Un número elevado de mujeres que inicialmente no se planteaban la analgesia epidural en el parto acabó optando por ella, con un nivel alto de satisfacción y calidad percibida después de su uso.

Objective: To identify labouring women’s attitudes and subjective quality after the use of epidural analgesia. Methodology: Observational, descriptive analytical cross-sectional study at the Mother and Children’s University Hospital of Gran Canaria, with a study population of postnatal women who received epidural analgesia during delivery between August and October 2019. A non-probabilistic consecutive sample and a self-administered questionnaire were used. A descriptive analysis of the collected variables and an inferential analysis was performed to explore the association between different variables. Results: From a sample of 354 women. Women considered the information received by midwives more important (57.6%) and 20.3% perceived a delay in the administration of epidural analgesia after their request. An average score of 24,45 regarding maternal global satisfaction was obtained (SD= 4.97; maximum 28; minimum 0). A statistically significant relationship was found between global satisfaction and educational level (p= 0.019*) and between reading and prior understanding of informed consent and overall maternal satisfaction (p <0.001*). Delay perception in the administration of the epidural negatively influenced satisfaction (p= 0.003*). Conclusions: A high number of women who initially did not consider epidural analgesia in childbirth end up opting for it, the level of satisfaction and quality perceived after its use being high.

Satisfacción percibida por las mujeres durante el parto en el Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil de Canarias a través del Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ-E) / Perceived satisfaction of women during labour at the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil of the Canary Islands through the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ-E)

OBJETIVO: Conocer el grado de satisfacción de las mujeres tras el parto en el Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil de Gran Canaria (HUMIC) y establecer posibles relaciones entre el grado de satisfacción y las variables estudiadas. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal con componente analítico. La población a estudio fueron las mujeres cuyo parto tuvo lugar en el mes de noviembre del 2018 en el HUMIC reclutadas mediante muestreo no probabilístico de tipo consecutivo. Se utilizó el cuestionario Childbirth Experience Questionnaire en su versión española (CEQ-E) (cuestionario con 4 dominios: capacidad propia, apoyo profesional, seguridad percibida y participación/modelo de análisis 2). En una primera fase se realizó un análisis descriptivo y en una segunda, un análisis inferencial para explorar la asociación entre diferentes variables. RESULTADOS: La muestra total fue de 257 mujeres (n=257). La puntuación total con el CEQ-E fue de 3,24 (DE 0,37 puntos). No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la puntuación final del CEQ-E entre las mujeres con parto espontáneo frente a inducciones-estimulaciones (p = 0,563) ni entre mujeres primíparas frente a multíparas (p = 0,060).Las mujeres cuyo parto había sido menor o igual a 12 h (p = 0,024), sin traumatismo perineal (p = 0,021) y aquellas a las que no se les ha realizado episiotomía (p = 0,002) obtuvieron mejor puntuación final en el CEQ-E. El parto instrumental (fórceps) frente al parto eutócico se asocia a puntuaciones menores respecto a la puntuación final en el CEQ-E (p≤0,001). CONCLUSIONES: La satisfacción global de la gestante tras el parto en el HUMIC es alta. El parto instrumental parece asociarse a menor satisfacción percibida. Aspectos como el miedo y el cansancio en el parto pueden influir negativamente en la satisfacción. Estos aspectos son susceptibles de mejora mediante el establecimiento de estrategias que ayuden a mayor bienestar y minimicen el miedo de las gestantes en su parto

OBJECTIVE: To determine the degree of satisfaction of women after childbirth at the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil of Gran Canaria (HUMIC) and to establish possible relationships between the degree of satisfaction and the variables studied. METHOD: A cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study with an analytical component. The study population comprised women who gave birth at the HUMIC in November 2018, recruited through consecutive non-probabilistic sampling. The Spanish version of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ-E) was used (questionnaire with 4 domains: own capacity', professional support, perceived safety and participation/analytical model 2). In a first phase a descriptive analysis was made, and in a second phase an inferential analysis to explore the association between different variables. RESULTS: The total sample comprised 257 women (n=257). The total score using the CEQ was 3.24 (SD .37 points). No statistically significant differences were found in the final CEQ score between the women who had a spontaneous delivery versus induction-stimulation (P=.563) or between primiparous versus multiparous women (P=.060). The women whose labour lasted 12hours or less (P=.024), without perineal trauma (P=.021) and those who had not undergone episiotomy (P=.002) achieved a better final CEQ score. Instrumental delivery (forceps) versus normal delivery is associated with lower scores with respect to the final CEQ-E score (P=≤.001). CONCLUSIONS: Women's overall satisfaction after delivery in HUMIC was high. Instrumental delivery seems to be associated with lower perceived satisfaction. Aspects such as fear and fatigue in labour could affect satisfaction negatively. These aspects can be improved by establishing strategies to increase comfort and minimise pregnant women's fear of labour
