Validity and reliability of the French version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (F-BSS-R)
The F-BSS-R total score showed good internal validity and reliability to measure birth satisfaction in French-speaking Switzerland. We recommend using the total score to assess birth satisfaction. The QC subscale score can be used and interpreted with confidence as a distinct aspect. In contrast, the observed sum scores for the SE and WA subscales are not sufficiently reliable for standalone use.
