Objectives:
We describe the development and the validation of a French self-administered questionnaire which measures women satisfaction concerning care given during pregnancy. The analysis includes pregnancy monitoring, hospitalization for delivery and homecoming.
Methods:
We considered the content validity, internal-consistency and the reproducibility by test-retest estimates. This survey also compared the characteristics of respondents and non-respondents.
Results:
Response rate was 61% and the rate of reply per question was greater than 90%. Eleven dimensions are identified by principal-components analysis. Ten of them had good Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0.58 to 0.83). The convergence between open comments and questions and between the different methods to measure satisfaction was good. The test-retest estimates for each dimension were correct.
Conclusion:
This questionnaire is reliable. It is a valid tool for evaluation of satisfaction after pregnancy. Designed to be sent to the woman's residence 2 months after childbirth, it can be easily used in common practice.
