Impact statement What is already known on this subject? One of the possible barriers for this is the lack of validated questionnaires that measure the postpartum PTSD. What do the results of this study add? The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the CityBiTS. The City Birth Trauma Scale has good psychometric properties and the two symptom clusters identified are consistent with previous research on symptoms of postpartum PTSD. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The City Birth Trauma Scale provides with a measure of birth-related PTSD foruse in research and clinical practice. PMID: 33263267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
