“…In fact, this is a key construct within many health education theories and seems to be the most fundamental behavioral constructs related with the choice of delivery method. [ 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ] Self-efficacy refers to an individual's perception of his or her competence to successfully perform a specific behavior. It is driven from both Bandura's social learning theory.…”

Introduction:The rate of caesarean delivery is increasing worldwide. Maternal beliefs may be influential on the mode of delivery. This study aimed to validate pregnant women's preferences for mode of delivery questionnaire among pregnant women.Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional study which was done in Ahvaz Public and Private Health Care Centers. A total of 342 low-risk pregnant women were included in a study conducted in spring 2011 in Ahvaz, Iran. After careful consideration and performing content and face validity, a 62-item measure was developed and subjects completed the questionnaire. Reliability was estimated using internal consistency and validity was assessed by performing face, content and structure and discriminate validity. Data were analyzed using explanatory factor analysis, t-test, and correlations in SPSS 16.Results:The findings of content and face validity showed almost perfect results for both content validity ratio = 1 and content validity index = 1. The explanatory factor analysis indicated a 7-subscale measure (Eigenvalue >1, factor loading >0.4), and discriminate validity revealed satisfying results P < 0.05 for 6 out of 7 subscales. Internal consistency as measured by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was acceptable for subscales.Conclusions:In general, the findings suggest that this newly generated scale is a reliable and valid specific questionnaire for assessing pregnant women's preferences for mode of delivery. However, further studies are needed to establish stronger psychometric properties for the questionnaire.

“…Questions are scored based on a 10-point Likert scale and the possible score range is from 17 to 170, with higher scores indicating higher outcome expectancy and more self-efficacy expectancy. This inventory enjoys a high internal consistency (0.84–0.91) [ 37 ].…”

Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of delivery fear scale (DFS) among Iranian women population. Methods This is a methodological study that was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of DFS. Convenience sampling was used to select 200 pregnant women from the maternity ward of Razi Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran. In the first step, the scale was translated into Persian using backward-forward translation method. Afterwards, the following types of validity were examined: face validity based on impact score, construct validity based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and concurrent validity. The Pearson correlation test was used to determine the correlation of DFS with pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire (PRAQ), Childbirth Attitude Questionnaire (CAQ), Spielberger’s state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), and the short form of Lowe’s childbirth self-efficacy inventory. Reliability of DFS was assessed by determining internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and split-half method. Results CFA had satisfactory validity considering x2⁄df < 5 and the RMSEA < 0.08. /the obtained Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.77. The split-half coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.83, indicating an acceptable reliability for the questionnaire. The results showed that DFS had a direct significant correlation with the CAQ (r = 0.72), PRAQ (r = 0.74), STAI-Y1 (r = 0.71) and STAI-Y1 (r = 0.63) and a reverse significant correlation with subscales of the short form of Lowe’s childbirth self-efficacy inventory including outcome expectancy (r= -0.75) and self-efficacy expectancy (r= -0.76). Conclusions The findings of the present study confirm the validity and reliability of the Persian version of DFS as an instrument for measuring fear of childbirth (FOC) in Iranian women population.

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to review and pilot-test feedback from childbearing women who completed the German short version of the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI-C32), which is widely used and validated in different languages. METHODS Ten pregnant nulliparas, who planned a natural childbirth, completed the German CBSEI-C32 and provided comments about the comprehensibility of the tool. RESULTS When applying the standardized translated German CBSEI-C32, we discovered that women generally gave positive feedback, and reported that the items made them think about coping strategies for labor and birth. Some pregnant woman had problems in understanding two items: 'Mich beherrschen' (original English item: 'Keep myself in control'), and 'Mich ruhig halten' (original English item: 'Keep myself calm'). Some of the items were not comprehensible for pregnant women and might not represent contemporary concepts of childbirth self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Two items of the German CBSEI-C32 were interpreted ambiguously by the pilot testers. The CBSEI should be checked to identify which items could serve as the basis for a new questionnaire because there are clear and appropriate coping strategies when dealing with labour pain such as item 3 on breathing. These could be complemented with other coping behaviours that are positively worded and serve to empower rather than restrain women. For measuring self-efficacy beliefs in childbirth nowadays, it appears that health-oriented aspects, such as concentrating on the pauses between contractions or mentally staying in the present moment, are more important for women than focusing on control during childbirth.
