BackgroundLittle is known about the association between stressors (especially positive stressors) during pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety.AimsWe investigated the association between positive and negative stress events during different stages of pregnancy and postpartum mental health outcomes among low-income pregnant women with symptoms of anxiety in Pakistan and evaluated whether an intervention based on cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) had a regulatory effect.MethodsParticipants were 621 pregnant Pakistani women with mild anxiety. Using the Pregnancy Experience Scale-Brief Version, six scores were created to assess positive and negative stressors. We performed a multivariate linear regression to examine whether these six scores, measured both at baseline and in the third trimester, were associated with postpartum anxiety and depressive symptoms. The effect of the intervention on this relationship was examined by adding an interaction term to the regression model.ResultsHassles frequency measured in the third trimester was positively associated with depression (B=0.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09 to 0.36) and anxiety (B=0.19, 95% CI: 0.08to 0.30). At the same timepoint, uplifts intensity was negatively associated with symptoms of depression (B=−0.82, 95% CI: −1.46 to –0.18) and anxiety (B=−0.70, 95% CI: −1.25 to –0.15), whereas hassles intensity was positively related to symptoms of depression (B=1.02, 95% CI: 0.36 to 1.67) and anxiety (B=0.90, 95% CI: 0.34 to 1.47). The intensity ratio of hassles to uplifts reported in the third trimester was positively related to both depression (B=1.40, 95% CI: 0.59 to 2.20) and anxiety (B=1.26, 95% CI: 0.57 to 1.96). The intervention strengthened the overall positive effects of uplifts and the negative effects of hassles. Pregnancy experiences at baseline during early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy were not associated with mental health outcomes.ConclusionsStressors in the third trimester but not earlier in pregnancy were associated with postpartum symptoms of anxiety and depression. The CBT intervention modified the association between pregnancy stressors and postpartum mental health outcomes. Programmes that promote positive experiences and reduce negative experiences, especially in late pregnancy, may mitigate postpartum mental health consequences.Trial registration numberNCT03880032.

“…HELAM is a systematic and comprehensive scale of evaluation of the application of LMS in Indonesia because the dimensions used in HELAM combine social and technical aspects. Given that the HELAM scale was developed in different cultural contexts, an adaptation process is needed to be used in the Indonesian context [10], [27].…”

<span lang="EN-US">Many schools have shifted their learning mode from face to face to fully online in order to reduce virus transmission and avoid learning loss, resulting in accelerated use of the learning management system (LMS). The implementation of online learning over the last 3 years in Indonesia needs to be evaluated. However, the available evaluation scales are in different cultural contexts. Therefore, the existing scales should be adapted. This study aims to adapt and report the psychometric properties of the Hexagonal E-Learning Assessment Model (HELAM) scale in the context of Indonesian culture. The adaptation followed the procedure suggested by Beaton. To achieve a measurement accuracy of up to 0.5 logit at a 99% confidence level, 326 teachers taking the Teacher Professional Education (TPE) program in position program were involved. The psychometric properties of the HELAM scale were analyzed using the Rasch model to improve accuracy and observe the quality of the HELAM scale. The results of the analysis show that the HELAM scale has good psychometric properties in the context of Indonesian culture at the instrument and item level. The elements of reliability and validity have met the good criteria. Thus, the adapted HELAM scale can be applied to the Indonesian context.</span>
