Validity and reliability of the Iranian preterm birth experiences and satisfaction scale: A methodological and cross-sectional study.

Women's experience and satisfaction with childbirth care are increasingly being addressed by health care providers, managers, and policymakers. Due to need for a validated special scale for assessing satisfaction of women with preterm birth, we aimed to translate and adapt the first specific tool, Preterm Birth Experiences and Satisfaction Scale (P-BESS), into Persian language and evaluate its psychometric properties. A methodological and cross-sectional study was conducted in two tertiary levels of maternal hospitals in Tabriz.
