The Chinese version of QACE consisted of 4 dimensions (emotional state, relationship with medical staff, first time spent with newborns, and feelings after 1 month postpartum) and 13 items. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.812, the Cronbach α coefficient of each dimension was 0.661-0.844, and the broken half reliability was 0.527. The scale level content validity index was 0.95. Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.682%.
