The BSS-R is a 10-item multi-factorial psychometrically robust tool developed and co-owned by Professor Caroline J Hollins Martin and Prof Colin R Martin. The BSS-R is the lead international clinical measure of birth satisfaction and is used to assess women’s perceptions of care provided and experiences of care provided during labour and ...

The BSS-R is the lead international clinical measure of birth satisfaction and is used to assess women’s perceptions of care provided and experiences of care provided during labour and childbirth.

The current study sought to develop a short birth satisfaction indicator utilising items from the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) for use as a brief measure of birth satisfaction and as a possible key performance indicator for perinatal ...

Key conclusions: the BSS-R would appear to be a robust, valid and reliable multidimensional psychometric instrument for measuring postnatal women's birth satisfaction. Further research to confirm the veracity of the instruments measurement …

The BSS-R is underpinned conceptually by a tri-dimensional measurement model comprising (i) Stress experienced during childbirth, (ii) Women’s attributes and (iii) Quality of care. These domains comprise 4, 2 and 4 items BSS-R respectively and represent the sub-scales of …

2014年6月1日 · The revised version of the BSS (BSS-R) was rescaled to produce a zero score point across the total scale and the three sub-scales, thus the revised 10-item instrument would be scored along a 0–4 Likert scale.

2014年6月1日 · Data has shown that the validated BSS-R is a robust tool for midwives, obstetricians and maternity care managers to measure postnatal women's birth satisfaction. In terms of impact, the BSS can be requested for use by researchers to collect data both nationally and internationally, with results potentially correlated with other measures (e.g ...

Results: the total 30-item BSS score mean was 128.98 (SD 16.92) and the 10-item BSS-R mean score was 31.94 (SD 6.75). Sub-scale mean scores quantified the quality of care provision, women's personal attributes, and stress experienced during labour. Satisfaction was higher for women with vaginal births compared with caesareans deliveries.
