Content validity of the birth beliefs scale following a translation into German

The BBS was systematically translated and adapted for German users, incorporating harmonization procedures to ensure conceptual equivalence as well as linguistic and cultural appropriateness throughout the translation process. Further psychometric validation in a larger sample is needed to evaluate structural properties and measurement performance.

The BBS was systematically translated and adapted for German users, incorporating harmonization procedures to ensure conceptual equivalence as well as linguistic and cultural appropriateness throughout the translation process. Further psychometric validation in a larger sample is needed to evaluate structural properties and measurement performance.
