“…A translation and back‐translation process was undertaken to develop the tool, in addition to content and face validity checks. The Spanish P‐BESS also showed an adequate degree of reliability both on the global scale and on its subscales, and stability over time …”

“…Participants rate each item on a 5‐point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, and 5 = strongly agree). The Total Scale score is obtained by adding the rating assigned to each item (Appendix S1), with higher scores reflecting greater satisfaction …”

“…Concerning women who speak Spanish, although work has been done in the field of maternal satisfaction, there are gaps in our knowledge especially with respect to women's satisfaction with preterm labor and birth. Only one validated questionnaire has been developed, the Spanish‐translated version of the P‐BESS . In the absence of more extensive research and with a view to improving women's health care in maternity services, the aim of this study is to assess women's level of satisfaction with the overall package of care received during labor and childbirth with preterm babies within a hospital setting in a Spanish‐speaking population.…”

Background: Women's satisfaction with maternity care is strongly influenced by their sociodemographic characteristics, values, and attitudes. The arrival of a preterm baby is often a traumatic time, with unique factors involved. The Spanish Preterm Birth Experience and Satisfaction Scale (P-BESS) is a robust instrument capable of assessing women's satisfaction during preterm birth. The purpose of this study was to assess women's satisfaction with maternity care during labor and birth with preterm babies in a Spanish-speaking population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 182 women who gave birth within 37 weeks' gestation. Factors associated with satisfaction were studied through univariate and bivariate analyses and through multiple linear regression using the backward elimination method. Results: Women reported high satisfaction with maternity care overall (average score of 84 out of 95). Women with a university education were generally less satisfied. Women were more satisfied if they were pregnant for the first time. Women who reported a previous premature birth or neonatal death were more satisfied, and women who had prior miscarriages were less satisfied compared with women without these experiences. Conclusions: The analysis confirmed that the majority of women surveyed were very satisfied with their childbirth experience. The Spanish P-BESS can be a useful way of prioritizing intervention measures, focusing on those aspects lowest scored by women, such as "information and explanations" and "confidence in staff," to improve maternity services for families experiencing preterm birth.

The demographic variables that were significant with each of the scores, shown in Table 3, were included as independent variables, performing a method of selecting stepwise variables, which allows us to have models with only the significant variables. No significant factors were identified for the subscales Staff Professionalism and Empathy and Information and Explanations.

Acknowledgements: Thank you to every pregnant woman who joined and completed our study. This study is a part of a Doctoral Thesis of Mr. Borja Romero-Gonzalez. Spanish validation and factor structure of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) Objective: To translate and validate a Spanish-language version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) and describe key measurement properties. Design: A cross-sectional instrument validation design examining factor structure, validity and reliability. Setting: Three public hospital sites in Spain. Participants: 202 women who had given birth within the past four weeks provided complete questionnaire data for analysis. Measurements and findings: Measures included the Spanish version of the BSS-R (S-BSS-R) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The tri-dimensional measurement model of the BSS-R was found to offer a good fit to Spanish data. Known-groups discriminant validity was found to be excellent with women experiencing a non-intervention delivery having higher S-BSS-R scores (p <0.05) compared to those having an intervention. Women who had no pain control were found to have greater S-BSS-R total and S-BSS-R women's attributes and stress experienced sub-scale scores compared to those who received pain control (p <0.05). Total scale internal reliability was also found to be acceptable. Evidence for good divergent and convergent validity was also found across total and sub-scale S-BSS-R scores. Key conclusions: The S-BSS-R was found to have generally good to excellent psychometric properties and represents a valid and reliable translation of the original version of the BSS-R for use in Spanish-speaking populations. The development of the S-BSS-R enables comparison of birth satisfaction with international study data where the BSS-R is used. Implications for research: The relationship of both delivery type and pain control to birth satisfaction represent important areas for further research.
