Method evidence record

Childbirth Experience Questionnaire

The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is a 22-item self-report instrument designed to comprehensively assess women's subjective experiences of childbirth. Developed by Dencker, Tully, and Begley, the CEQ measures four key dimensions of the birth experience: Capacity (feelings of being in control, coping, and managing labor), Perceived Safety (confidence in provider competence and safety), Professional Support (quality of care received), and Participation (involvement in decision-making). It captures women's experiences across diverse birth settings and contexts.
