| Birth Satisfaction Scale Revised Form (BSS-R) | up to 24 weeks | In order to evaluate birth satisfaction, the Birth Satisfaction Scale Revised form (BSS-R) developed by a researcher was adapted into Turkish and a validity and reliability study was conducted. The BSS-R is a 5-point Likert-type scale. It is scored as strongly disagree '0 points', disagree '1 point', undecided '2 points', agree '3 points', strongly agree '4 points'. The lowest score of 0 and the highest score of 40 points can be obtained from the scale. In the scale, 6 statements are positive, 4 statements are negative and 4 items are reverse scored. The reverse scored items are items 2, 4, 7, 8. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the woman's satisfaction with childbirth. In this study, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of the scale were 0.72 for BSS-R total, 0.78 for 'Quality of Care Services', 0.71 for 'Stress Experienced in Trauma', and 0.70 for 'Personal Characteristics of Women'. |
