Validation of the City Birth Trauma Scale in a sample of Norwegian mothers

The City BiTS-Nor presents appropriate psychometric properties for assessing CB-PTSD symptoms according to DSM-5 criteria. The findings suggest that using the total score, along with the individual subscale scores, is justified and enhances the comprehensive assessment of CB-PTSD symptoms. These findings support the clinical utility of the City BiTS-Nor as a screening tool for CB-PTSD, with potential to differentiate childbirth-related trauma from general psychopathology and to guide targeted interventions in perinatal care.

Abstract

The City BiTS-Nor presents appropriate psychometric properties for assessing CB-PTSD symptoms according to DSM-5 criteria. The findings suggest that using the total score, along with the individual subscale scores, is justified and enhances the comprehensive assessment of CB-PTSD symptoms. These findings support the clinical utility of the City BiTS-Nor as a screening tool for CB-PTSD, with potential to differentiate childbirth-related trauma from general psychopathology and to guide targeted interventions in perinatal care.
