Background: The objective of this paper was to test the psychometric properties of the questionnaire for assessing the childbirth experience (QACE) among Chinese postpartum women.
Methods: Research instruments included the demographic characteristics form, the QACE, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). The item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), known-groups discriminant validity, divergent validity, and internal consistency reliability were assessed for the psychometric properties of QACE.
Results: A total of 235 postpartum women were recruited in this study. Item analysis showed that the critical ratios of all items were greater than 3, and all item-total correlation coefficients were greater than 0.4. The fit indices showed that the original correlated four-factor model of QACE was adequate. In terms of the divergent validity, the QACE subscale and total score were in a significant positive correlation with the EPDS and GAD-7. Regarding reliability, the Cronbach's alpha of the QACE was 0.812, ranging from 0.611 to 0.844 for total scale and sub-scales, respectively.
Conclusions: The QACE is a valid and reliable tool for measuring childbirth experience among Chinese women sample of postpartum women.

Purpose: To explore the concurrent validity and responsiveness of the Wheelchair Skills Test-Questionnaire (WST-Q) caregiver proxy, and the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) in children and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP).
Methods: Concurrent validity and responsiveness of the WST-Q caregiver proxy were assessed in 12 participants with CP (mean age 15 years; SD: 3 years 6 months); power wheelchair users. Concurrent validity of the WST-Q was determined using Pearson's correlation coefficients, and responsiveness with linear regression.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Novice Nursing Practitioner Role Transition (K-NNPRT) scale.
Methods: This scale was developed through forward translation, expert panel endorsement, and back translation and revised based on cognitive interviews. Data for the psychometric test were collected from 248 nurses who provide advanced care in Korea.

Despite the burgeoning interest in workplace spirituality, there remains considerable room for improvement in its conceptualization and measurement. The purpose of this study was to provide a psychometrically sound and easily implementable measure of organizational spirituality. Additionally, the study aimed to differentiate organizational spirituality from individual spirituality at work by examining its unique contributions to job satisfaction.

Purpose: Initial studies identified the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment (PRPP-A) as a cognitive assessment with potential for culturally safe use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with neurocognitive impairments in the Northern Territory of Australia. This study examines construct and concurrent validity of the PRPP-A.
Methods: Data were collected from a medical record review.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health issue, significantly affecting the health and well-being of women and children. Research indicates a strong link between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and increased PPD rates. While the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q) is widely used for ACE screening, the Childhood Traumatic Events Scale (CTES) may better capture trauma items not covered by the ACE-Q, along with the timing and severity of ACEs.
