Abstract: Background: The Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) is a widely used, psychometrically robust and brief self-report measure of birth experience from the mothers perspective. The current study sought to adapt and validate the BSS-R for partners, evaluating key psychometric properties, including the underlying tri-dimensional factor structure of stress experienced, personal attributes and quality of care. Aim: To translate and validate a Czech speaking partner version of the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) and examine key measurement characteristics and association with fundamental clinical outcome variables. Method: Following translation of the UK partner BSS-R into Czech, the Czech Partner BSS-R (CZP-BSS-R) was administered to 225 partners of women who had given birth within the past 5-years. Key psychometric characteristics were examined, including factor structure, divergent and known-groups discriminant validity and internal reliability, Results: Established measurement models of the BSS-R observed in mothers were found to offer an excellent fit to partner data. The CZP-BSS-R also demonstrated excellent validity and reliability characteristics. Conclusions: The CZP-BSS-R was found to be valid and reliable, with results from Czech partners 'mirroring' factor structure and key validity characteristics previously established in Czech mothers. The BSS-R validated for completion by Czech speaking mothers now has a matched version available for use with Czech speaking partners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
