This study investigated the measurement properties of the Persian version of the Pregnancy and Childbirth Questionnaire (PCQ), designed to measure mothers\u2019 satisfaction with the quality of healthcare services provided during pregnancy and childbirth.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This is a cross-sectional methodological study. Instrument translation, face validity, content validity, structural validity, and reliability evaluation were performed to determine the measurement properties of the PCQ\u2019s Persian version. A backward-forward approach was employed for the translation process. Impact scores were selected based on the items\u2019 importance to measure face validity. Content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR) were calculated to measure content validity, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to measure structural validity. The cluster random sampling method was used, resulting in a sample of 250 eligible women referred to the health centers of Tabriz, Iran, who were 4 to 6 weeks after giving birth. Cronbach\u2019s alpha coefficient and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) using a test-retest approach were used to determine the questionnaire\u2019s reliability.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The impact scores of all items were above 1.5, which indicates a suitable face validity. The content validity was also favorable (CVR\u2009=\u20090.95, CVI\u2009=\u20090.90). Exploratory factor analysis on 25 items led to the removal of item 2 due to a factor loading of less than 0.3 and the extraction of three factors explaining 65.07% of the variances. The results of the sample adequacy size were significant (&lt;\u20090.001, and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin\u2009=\u20090.886). The model\u2019s validity was confirmed based on the confirmatory factor analysis fit indicators (i.e., RMSEA\u2009=\u20090.08, SRMR\u2009=\u20090.09, TLI\u2009=\u20090.91, CFI\u2009=\u20090.93, x<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\/df\u2009=\u20094.65).
