In this study, the author designed the self esteem scale for experience of delivery and surveyed the self esteem of mothers for their experience of delivery to study the scale's reliability and validity.
The subjects were 235 mothers in puerperal stage between 1st and 14th day after delivery. This is the questionnaire survey on self esteem of delivery. The words collected in Study 1 were used in designing the questionnaire based on 10 value types of universal value theory of Schwartz (1992). There were 54 questions in the questionnaire. The answers to these 54 questions were processed using three factor analyses (principle factor analysis varimax) to extract significant 35 items to design the self esteem scale for delivery experience. The fourth factor analysis help the author extract four stable factors (“done well myself”,“satisfactory with both mother and child being well”,“presence of reliable obstetric staff”and“awareness as a mother”)
Each α coefficient was between 0.91 to 0.71, indicating high internal consistency and reliability. It is highly correlated with four factors resulted from the correlation with the self-esteem scale, confirming the validity of the constituent concept.
