Measurement properties of the German version of the birth satisfaction scale-revised (BSS-R) in women with pre-existing medical conditions and high-risk pregnancy
The Ger-BSS-R is a robust instrument for assessing birth satisfaction. This is the first study to apply the BSS-R in women with pre-existing medical conditions. Compared to the founder UK version, differences in total BSS-R scores and sub-scales for experience of stress and quality of care are present, requiring further investigations.
