Methods: The study conducted in the methodological research type has been performed in a public hospital between May and September 2015 with 250 women who had normal vaginal delivery and agreed to participate in the study. Introductory information form and CEQ have been used as data collection tools. Validity analysis of the data has been conducted with content validity index, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis; Pearson product-moment correlation and Cronbach Alpha (Cronbach α) reliability coefficient. Results: The Cronbach α reliability coefficient of the whole questionnaire is 76. There was no difference between the test retest measurement (p>0.05). The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the questionnaire was conformed with the model in the original questionnaire, that it validated the pattern with 22 items and four factors (X2/SD= 436.76/203, root mean square error of approximation=0.070, standard-ized root mean squared residual=0.078, confirmatory fit index=0.91, non-normed fit index=0.81, goodnessof- fit index=0.87, adjusted goodness of fit index=0.82). Conclusion: It has been determined that the CEQ questionnaire is similar to the original questionnaire and is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing the birth experience of women in delivery rooms in our country.
