Transcultural adaptation to the Brazilian Portuguese of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire for assessing the postpartum bond between mother and baby

Abstract

The establishment of the bond between mother and baby in the postpartum period is important for ensuring the physical and psychological health of both. This short communication reports the first phase of the cross-cultural translation and adaptation to the Brazilian context of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ). Four aspects of equivalence between the original scale and the Portuguese version were evaluated: the conceptual, semantic, operational and item equivalences. Literature review, the study of PBQ history, translation, expert evaluation, back-translation and pretests involving 30 mothers with children aging up to 7 months using a primary healthcare unit were conducted. Each step demonstrated the need for adjustments, which were made during the adaptation process. At the end of the study, a version of PBQ in Brazilian Portuguese equivalent to the original one was obtained, offering promise for national studies on the mother-baby bond, and its influence on health, and for use in health services.

Optimizing the Assessment of Parental Burnout: A Multi-informant and Multimethod Approach to Determine Cutoffs for the Parental Burnout Inventory and the Parental Burnout Assessment

“…While research has begun to address the need for efficient treatments (Brianda, Roskam, Gross, et al, 2020), the need for assessment tools has been only partially met. Valid instruments to assess PB have been developed (Roskam et al, 2018(Roskam et al, , 2017 and translated (Aunola et al, 2020;Baldisserotto et al, 2018;Kawamoto et al, 2018), but the absence of clinical cutoffs renders these instruments of limited use to practitioners. The current article aims to overcome this weakness and provide clinicians with validated cutoff scores on the two most widely used PB measures.…”

Pesquisas e abordagens educativas em ciências da saúde

“…Em relação aos anos de publicação, houve predomínio de 2018, 2019 e 2020, o que pode ser justificado pela publicação de documentos técnicos pela World Health Organization (WHO) com ênfase nos aspectos relacionados à saúde da mulher e da criança na Atenção Primária, corroborando a atualidade da temática envolvida (WHO, 2018).O emprego dos instrumentos encontrados nos artigos selecionados se deu em busca da verificação das relações familiares, com o objetivo específico de avaliar o vínculo entre mãe e filho ou as relações conjugais -e não as relações das puérperas com demais familiares. Dentre os instrumentos, o PBQ foi o mais prevalente, mas alguns aspectos podem inferir a limitação ao PBQ, como avaliação restrita da relação mãe e filho sem abranger a qualidade dos demais vínculos familiares da puérpera e o fato de ainda estar em fase de validação para a população brasileira(BALDISSEROTTO et al, 2018;GARCIA-ESTEVE et al, 2016;OHASHI et al, 2016).Dentre os artigos selecionados nesta revisão, dois instrumentos foram utilizados com o objetivo de avaliar as relações familiares das puérperas de forma ampla. O MOS-FMFM deriva de uma escala mais extensa, desenvolvida a partir de um estudo aaaaaaaaaaaa crônicos(TARLOV et al, 1989), com o propósito de avaliar a satisfação em relação à vida familiar e ao funcionamento conjugal, tendo sido validado…”
