Development and validation of the birth integrity questionnaire for measuring attitudes, maternity care, and perceptions of birth
The BI-Q is a validated and reliable tool for measuring birth integrity. Findings highlight the significant impact of healthcare providers' actions and attitudes on birth perception, advocating for improved maternity care and prioritizing women's autonomy. The omission of DISCRIMINATION underscores the need to re-test the BI-Q in more diverse samples.
