The Icelandic Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ2) is a reliable and valid tool for measuring childbirth experiences. Further research is needed to refine its items and domains.
Area of Science:
- Psychometrics
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Health Psychology
Background:
- Assessing childbirth experience is crucial for maternal healthcare.
- The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ2) is a widely used instrument.
- Validating the CEQ2 in different linguistic and cultural contexts is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To translate the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ2) into Icelandic.
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Icelandic version of the CEQ2.
Main Methods:
- Forward-to-back translation and face-validity testing (n=10).
- Online survey for reliability and construct validity assessment (n=1125).
- Cronbach's alpha for reliability; known-groups validation and principal components analysis for construct validity.
Main Results:
- The Icelandic CEQ2 demonstrated good face validity and high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.85).
- Two items in the 'own capacity' domain showed weak correlation with the scale.
- Construct validity was supported through comparisons across various demographic and birth-related groups.
Conclusions:
- The translated Icelandic CEQ2 is a valid and reliable measure of childbirth experience.
- Further investigation is recommended to optimize the number of items and domains within the Icelandic CEQ2.

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
