“…In contrast, in other countries, mothers and babies are typically discharged from the hospital within 2 to 3 days of delivery. In Japan, some studies about women who had cesarean section childbirth experiences were not done 2-3 days after delivery because of concern about mothers' physical and mental conditions on reaching motherhood (Tokiwa et al, 2000a). Furthermore, most of the hospitals that cooperated with our research conducted screening for postpartum depression using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and we did not want to overburden the mothers for our research.…”

“…Until now, there has been no scale allowing for comparing cesarean section and vaginal delivery in Japan. Because existing questionnaires (Misago et al, 2005;Saegusa, 1999;Takehara et al, 2007;Tokiwa et al, 2000a;Tokiwa et al, 2000b) contain questions related only to vaginal delivery such as "Were you able to let out groans without controlling them?" it is doubtful that such scales are suitable for comparing vaginal delivery and cesarean section births.…”

PurposeCesarean section birth rates in Japan increased to 19.7% by 2014. In Japan, there is no suitable scale for comparing the satisfaction of childbirth experience between vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections. This study aimed to develop a Japanese version of Salmon's Item List to compare different delivery modes. MethodFirst, we pre-tested 22 women receiving a one-month postpartum check-up using a Japanese version of Salmon's Item List that had been translated per the process recommended by World Health Organization. Next, 401 women undergoing one-month postpartum check-ups at 5 different secondary emergency hospitals completed the translated questionnaire. SPSS Statistics ver. 23 was used for statistical analysis, and the significance level was set at 5%. ResultsThere were 344 (68.8%) valid responses. Cronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.849 and 0.654-0.90 for the three subscales, which were similar to the original version. Higher scores indicate more positive experiences. The highest total score was for planned cesarean, followed by normal delivery, emergency cesarean section, and vacuum extraction. ConclusionThis scale can objectively evaluate childbirth experience via any mode. There is, nevertheless, still room for improvement of the Japanese version of Salmon's Item List by re-examining its subscale components.

AimThis study aimed to develop a Japanese version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale‐Revised and evaluate its reliability and validity.MethodsAfter translating the Birth Satisfaction Scale‐Revised into Japanese, we conducted an Internet‐based cross‐sectional study with 445 Japanese‐speaking women within 2 months of childbirth. Of these, 98 participated in the retest 1 month later. Data were analyzed using the COSMIN study design checklist for patient‐reported outcome measurement instruments. Content validity was evaluated through cognitive debriefing during the translation process into Japanese. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to verify structural and cross‐cultural validities. For hypothesis testing, we tested correlations with existing measures for convergent and divergent validities, and for known‐group discriminant validity, we made comparisons between types of childbirth. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's α, and test–retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient.ResultsFor the Japanese‐Birth Satisfaction Scale‐Revised, the established three‐factor model fit poorly, whereas the four‐factor model fit better. Full metric invariance was observed in both the nulliparous and multiparous groups. Good convergent, divergent, and known‐group discriminant validities and test–retest reliability were established. Internal consistency observations were suboptimal; however for vaginal childbirth, the Cronbach's α of the total score was .71.ConclusionsThe Japanese‐Birth Satisfaction Scale‐Revised is a valid and reliable scale, with the exception of internal consistency that requires further investigation. If limited to vaginal childbirth, research, clinical applications, and international comparisons can be drawn.

Objectives: To clarify the effects on the delivery experience of midwives giving parturient females individual explanations about how the course of delivery, using 3D animation software (Delivery Animation). Method: 1) Subjects: Women admitted to Institution A for delivery; 70 in the intervention group (34 primipara, 36 multipara), and 79 (41 primipara, 38 multipara) in the control group. 2) Data collection method: Intervention group; 3) During phases 1 and 2 of delivery, after internal examinations, collaborative-researcher midwives gave parturient women explanations about the course of delivery, using tablets with the Delivery Animation software installed. This software was independently developed by the researchers. On postpartum day 1, the collaborative-researcher midwives distributed anonymous, self-administered questionnaires to the postpartum women. 4) During phases 1 and 2 of delivery, the course of delivery was explained using existing methods, and anonymous, self-administered questionnaires were distributed on postpartum day 1. 5) The intervention group and control group were compared using descriptive and inferential statistics, organized into primipara and multipara. Results: In the Understanding the Delivery Process category, primipara in the intervention group had significantly higher scores for "understood baby's rotation" (p < 0.01) and "understood progress through delivery" (p < 0.05). In multipara, the intervention group scored significantly higher for "understood baby's rotation" (p < 0.01). In the anonymous self-evaluation, primipara in the intervention group scored significantly higher in "midwife I could trust was by my
