Abstract:
Objective: To seek validity and reliability evidence of the Brazilian version of the City Birth Trauma Scale (BiTS-Br) and establish diagnostic accuracy. Method: A total of 343 mothers (up to one year after childbirth, 30.8years old on average) completed the BiTs-Br and other instruments screening for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety for convergent validity analysis. Structural validity was verified using exploratory techniques (principal components analysis), while discriminant validity was checked using the known-groups method and ROC curve. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 was applied via telephone interviews. Test-retest reliability was obtained in a 15–30-d interval.
