Brief summary

Ciechanowicz et al. developed and validated a postpartum recovery score for women with a caesarean section: the ObsQoR-11. The psychometric validation of the ObsQoR-11 confirms its reliability, its response to change, its acceptability and its feasibility. The use of this score allows the investigators to quantify the quality of the patient's recovery between 0 and 110, by allocating a score from 0 to 10 for each item. ObsQoR-11 has not yet been validated for use in Turkish. Therefore the investigators aimed to psychometrically evaluate the Turkish translated version of the ObsQoR-11 in a Turkish cohort of women.

Detailed description

Recovery after caesarean section is a complex process, depending on the characteristics of the patient and the anaesthesia. Scales for measuring the quality of post-operative recovery have been developed. Ciechanowicz et al. developed and validated a postpartum recovery score for women with a caesarean section: the ObsQoR-11. This multidimensional scale is a questionnaire of 11 items evaluating: moderate pain, severe pain, nausea and vomiting, feeling of discomfort, shivering, feeling of comfort, ability to mobilize, ability to carry the newborn, ability to feed, ability to groom alone, and finally feeling of self-control. The investigators aimed to validate the translated version of the Turkish ObsQoR-11 scale.

Interventions

OTHERObsQoR-11T Questionnaire

The ObsQoR-11T questionnaire consists of 11 items assessing different aspects of postpartum recovery: physical comfort and pain, physical independence and emotional status. If the patient is not able to read the questionnaire herself, a third person can ask the questions orally to the patient. Each item is scored from 0 to 10 and the total score is the sum of the score for each item, which is a score from 0 to 110.
