Article Abstract

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.

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.
