Childbirth satisfaction may positively affect maternal intention to have a future pregnancy and preference to have a cesarean. We translate the (UK-BSS-R) into Persian and validate an for future use in this population. In total, 784 mothers who were hospitalized in postpartum wards completed the Persian version of the BSS-R. The confirmatory factor analysis on 10-items scale confirmed the conventional three-factor structure. The Cronbach's alpha of the subscales and the total score were within the range of 0.53-0.76. Our findings provide further evidence that the BSS-R is an internationally reliable and valid instrument to measure birth satisfaction.
