“…When assessing divergent validity, the PSS-10 was inversely correlated with work well-being (engagement, vigor, dedication, and absorption). These findings are consistent with research on work stress [5,21]. Convergent validity was also tested by calculating the associations between PSS-10 and executive concerns.…”

“…Subjective executive complaints are associated with poor fronto-executive performance, and are influenced by psychological stress [5,18]. Thus, these results are indicative of the concurrent validity of PSS-10.…”

“…Overcoming the concept of health as the mere absence of disease, it is important to consider the salutogenic paradigm related to the conservation and investment of resources that a person can achieve to maintain a positive state of health [5]. Hence, the availability of valid instruments is important to generate healthy and favorable work environments, emphasizing the reduction of risk factors in order to achieve higher engagement [5]. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PSS-10 and PSS-4 in Argentinian public-sector employees.…”

“…Similarly to previous studies, internal consistency was adequate (α=0.8950). The negative effects of stress on the cognitive state of workers have been extensively investigated, and disturbed executive functioning has been shown to be the most prominent feature of cognitive problems associated with stress [5].…”

“…The PSS is based on the transactional theory of stress; this theoretical approach focuses on how individuals perceive stress, which is seen as the result of an imbalance between situational demands and coping resources [2]. The PSS score has been associated with health outcomes, such as hormonal changes, cardiometabolic disease, insomnia, and cognition [3][4][5].…”

Objective The 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) required strict confinement measures that differentially impacted the individual's daily life. Thus, this work aimed to study postpartum women's mental health in Argentina during mandatory social isolation. Design A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to July 2020, which included five validated questionnaires to assess postpartum depression (Postpartum Depression Screening Scale‐Short Form), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), memory complaints (Memory Complaint Scale), metacognition (Brief Metamemory and Metaconcentration Scale), and breastfeeding self-efficacy (Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form). Sociodemographic variables, social isolation characteristics, and breastfeeding practices were also collected. This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Statistical analysis included zero-order correlations, multiple logistic regressions, and a set of structural equation models (SEM) to test direct and indirect effects. Goodness-of-fit indices were calculated for SEM. Setting Postpartum women were recruited from public hospitals, private health clinics, and online community recruitment in the Cordoba province (Argentina). Participants 305 postpartum women from Argentina. Measurements and findings 37% of women reported postpartum depression, 46% insomnia, 42% memory impairment, 60% low metaconcentration, 50% low metamemory, and 23% low breastfeeding efficacy. Also, significant associations were found demonstrating that social isolation promoted postpartum depression and insomnia were reciprocally related, which compromised female cognition and efficacy. This situation was aggravated in women during late postpartum, with previous children, and by low social support (e.g., family, health professionals), with non-exclusive breastfeeding being increased. Key conclusions This is the first study addressing postpartum women's mental status during social isolation in Argentina, which was a promoting factor for postpartum depression and insomnia that were reciprocally related. This situation was also aggravated by reproductive factors, such as late postpartum, multiparity, breastfeeding frequency, and non-exclusive breastfeeding. Additionally, breastfeeding self-efficacy depended on mental health status, and euthymia therefore favoured the practice of exclusive breastfeeding.
