title: Factor structure, validity, and reliability of the Spanish version of the Women's Views of Birth Labour Satisfaction Questionnaire.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to analyse the factor structure of the Women's Views of Birth Labour Satisfaction Questionnaire (WOMBLSQ) using confirmatory factor analysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  prospective cross-sectional study. Data were collected through a mail questionnaire.
  
  
  METHODS
  the study was conducted at a University Hospital in Madrid.
  
  
  METHODS
  298 pregnant Spanish women.
  
  
  METHODS
  confirmatory factor analysis was used to identify the best-fit model.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the best fit for the Spanish version of the scale was an eight-factor model, after removing the control factor from the original scale, and merging all items related to pain into one. Internal consistency was satisfactory for the full scale (.82), although the reliability of two factors was less than .45.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  this study has provided preliminary evidence that supports the use of the Spanish version of the WOMBLSQ to assess childbirth satisfaction in Spanish-speaking women. Nevertheless, further studies will be needed to determine the validity of the questionnaire and to compare it to other existing tools.
