However, no specialized and validated instrument is currently available in China to evaluate birth memory. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire for Chinese postpartum women and validate its psychometric properties.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire was translated into Chinese and culturally adapted following the Beaton model. Content validity was assessed by an expert panel. A convenience sample of 494 primiparous women, aged 18 to 49 years, who had undergone vaginal childbirth and had an infant aged 0 to 12 months, was recruited from three tertiary-level public hospitals in China. Construct validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, along with assessments of convergent validity, discriminant validity, and measurement invariance. Known-group validity was assessed by comparing birth memory characteristics between women with and without probable postpartum depression (PPD) and childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD). Reliability was established through internal consistency and test-retest reliability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Chinese version of the Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire exhibited satisfactory content validity, with a scale-level content validity index of 0.95. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable model fit and supported the six-factor structure of the original questionnaire. The questionnaire demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity, and it supported measurement invariance across PPD symptom subgroups. Women with probable PPD or CB-PTSD reported more emotional memory, reliving, centrality of memory, and involuntary recall. Women with probable PPD also reported less coherence, while those with probable CB-PTSD reported more sensory memory. The Chinese version of the questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency, with an overall Cronbach\u2019s alpha of 0.83 and McDonald\u2019s omega of 0.81. Test-retest reliability was confirmed with an intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.73.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Chinese version of the Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the birth memory
