Validation of the person-centered maternity care scale at governmental health facilities in Cambodia.

Background: Women's childbirth experience of interpersonal care is a significant aspect of quality of care. Due to the lack of a reliable Cambodian version of a measurement tool to assess person-centered maternity care, the present study aimed to adapt the "Person-Centered Maternity Care (PCMC) scale" to the Cambodian context and further determine its psychometric properties.

Methods: The PCMC scale was translated into Khmer using the team translation approach.

Cultural adaptation of the person-centered maternity care scale at governmental health facilities in Cambodia.

Background: In Cambodia, the importance of valuing women's childbirth experiences in improving quality of care has been understudied. This is largely because of absence of reliable Khmer tools for measuring women's intrapartum care experiences. Generally, cross-cultural development of those tools often involves translation from a source language into a target language.
