Abstract

Objective

The City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS) is a questionnaire designed to assess the posttraumatic symptoms after birth. This study aimed to explore the factors structure, internal consistency, known-groups validity, and convergent validity of the City Birth Trauma Scale in Slovakia.

Methods

Cross-sectional Slovak national data from the INTERSECT study were analyzed in this study. The research was set in four public hospital sites in central and eastern Slovakia. A 28-item City BiTS online questionnaire was administered to 437 women 6–8 weeks postpartum study (mean age 30.5 ± 4,8; range18-45), along with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Post-Traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale indicating previous trauma.

Results

The stressor criterion of PTSD based on DSM 5 classification was met by 11.5 % of postpartum women in the Slovak sample, and all criteria for PTSD were met by 2.8 % of participants. Significantly higher City BiTS scores were found among primiparas (p ≤ 0.01), women who experienced previous trauma (p ≤ 0.001), with positive psychiatric anamnesis (p ≤ 0.001), and women after assisted vaginal birth or emergency caesarian section (p ≤ 0.001). The Slovak version of City BiTS has been shown to have good reliability and good divergent and known-groups validity. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-factor model of the BSS-R offers a good fit to the Slovak data (χ2(df = 169) = 574, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.90 and RMSEA = 0.08).

Conclusions

The Slovak version of the City Birth Trauma scale has been found to have good psychometric properties comparable with other validation studies of this measure.
斯洛伐克版城市出生创伤量表的因素结构和心理测量特征。
目的:城市出生创伤量表(City BiTS)是一份评估新生儿出生后创伤症状的问卷。本研究旨在探讨斯洛伐克城市出生创伤量表的因素结构、内部一致性、已知组效度和收敛效度。方法:本研究分析了来自INTERSECT研究的斯洛伐克国家横断面数据。这项研究在斯洛伐克中部和东部的四家公立医院进行。对437名产后6-8周妇女(平均年龄30.5±4,8岁;范围(18-45),以及爱丁堡产后抑郁量表(EPDS)和创伤后应激诊断量表,表明之前的创伤。结果:斯洛伐克样本中11.5%的产后妇女满足基于DSM 5分类的PTSD应激源标准,2.8%的参与者满足所有PTSD标准。初产妇(p≤0.01)、有过创伤经历的妇女(p≤0.001)、有阳性精神记忆的妇女(p≤0.001)以及辅助阴道分娩或紧急剖腹产的妇女(p≤0.001)的City BiTS得分明显较高。斯洛伐克版本的城市BiTS已被证明具有良好的信度和良好的发散和已知组效度。验证性因素分析的结果表明,BSS-R的双因素模型与斯洛伐克的数据有很好的拟合(χ2(df = 169) = 574, p)。结论:斯洛伐克版的城市出生创伤量表具有良好的心理测量特性,可与该量表的其他验证性研究相媲美。
