Dataset of The latent factor structure and assessment of childbirth-related PTSD in fathers and co-parents: psychometric characteristics of the City Birth Trauma Scale – French version (partner version)

Little is known about the latent factor structure of CB-PTSD symptoms in co-parents (i.e., (a non-expecting mother or father). The City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS) was developed to assess childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder following childbirth (CB-PTSD), based on the PTSD criteria of the DSM-5. Still, no validated French questionnaire exists to assess CB-PTSD symptoms in co-parents. This study aimed (1) to establish the latent factor structure of CB-PTSD, and (2) to validate the French version of the City BiTS (partner version). 

This dataset contains data on the mental health (i.e., CB-PTSD, depression, anxiety) of 282 co-parents who had an infant within the last 12 months. Sociodemographic data such as age, marital status, educational level, weeks of gestation, type of delivery, history of traumatic childbirth, or history of a traumatic event is available.
