“…A higher score indicated more stress. In Iran, validity of the Persian version of this questionnaire has been proved by Rajabi and Naderi through factor analysis, convergent validity has been proved through Beck Depression Inventory and divergent validity has been proved through Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (6). Cronbach α coefficient for the whole questionnaire in this study was 0.91.…”

IntroductionThe postpartum period is one of the important transitional phases in women's life (1). Following serious changes of delivery and transition to parenthood, primigravidas undergo significant physical, social and psychological changes (2). With important physiological and psychological changes such as adapting to changes in the body, woman face maternal role and support of certain people (3). Therefore, mother needs to adapt to new life and newborn care (4). Most of them aren't ready to take care of themselves and their baby with plentiful needs (5). During this stage of adjustment, mother experiences psychosocial social imbalances that lead to severe stress (6). The true prevalence of postpartum stress among women is unknown, but studies show that 10% to 15% of women are affected by mental issues including depression, anxiety and stress after delivery (7). Webb et al showed that 69% of women have at least one physical complaint after childbirth (8). Based on the results, 25.71% to 32.38% of women have mild mental disorders during the first 6 weeks after delivery (9) and, in some studies; this figure has even reached up to 44.4% (10). In Iran, 47.5% of nulliparous women and 67.1% of multiparous are not in a good mental health status (11) and 32% of women experience postpartum stress disorder after delivery (12). Overall, postpartum stress in Iranian women is higher than other countries and is inversely related to social protection (13). Many diseases and problems of women in this period are related to stress or their inability to cope with changes (14). Stress can be a component of any disease. Therefore, understanding the stressors and improving the capacity of the person to be compatible with them is very important (3).Episiotomy and perineal pain, back pain, breast swelling and pain, incontinence, constipation, fatigue, sleep problems and breast problems are the most important physical stressors and the pressure to return to pre-pregnancy weight, sexual changes, concerns about the maternal role, problems regarding the infant (e.g., feeding, crying, care, bathing, unpredictable behaviors of the baby, sucking, neonatal jaundice, sleep disorders, flatulence, inadequate weight gain, eye infection and umbilical infection), relationships with partners and lack of social support are psychological stressors (15-17). Baby care, sexual relationships, self-care, family planning and mental health are women's concerns and educational needs in the postpartum period (18). Based on the analysis of various factors, Hung et al found that three factors of maternal role attainment, lack of social support and physical changes are important in the occurrence of postpartum stress (5).Postpartum stresses are determinants of women's health and even threaten child-parent relationship and child AbstractObjectives: Planned interventions can facilitate the maternal role for primiparous women by reducing postpartum stress. The present study aims to determine the effect of home-based supportive-educational counseling on primigravi...

“…Although the number of samples in their study was higher than our subjects, correlation in Cronbach's alpha value supports the reliability of our tool. A similar study by Rajabi et al 22 reported a Cronbach's alpha of the whole scale equal to 0.95. Their results supported validity and reliability of the Farsi version of ICF to assess care needs and dependency in senior citizens, which is consistent with the present study.…”

Background: The notable growth of the senior citizens population has caused problems and concerns in areas like healthcare, social care, and participation in society. The present paper is aimed at validating a Farsi version of the "International classification of functioning, disability, and health" for assessing elderly care needs in Kermanshah, Iran. Methods: The original version of the tool was translated into Farsi using forward-backward method. The study group consisted of 301 senior citizens who were selected through cluster sampling. Validity of the tool was examined using Waltz and Basel's content validity index, face validity, and confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the tool was examined using Cronbach's alpha and internal correlation. Data analyses were performed in SPSS-25 and Amoss-16. Results: Following confirmatory factor analysis, the number of factors decreased from nine to eight. The R 2 index in the above model was estimated equal to 0.99; this indicates that 99% of the dependent variable changes (total score of ICF) are explained by the independent variables (eight items). All the indices were above 0.9, which indicates significance of the model (χ 2 /DF=2.7, CFI, NFI, GFI, TLI=0.9, REMSEA=0.078, R 2 =0.99). In addition, using internal correlation, the reliability of the tool obtained was equal to 0.77 for the whole tool and 0.7-0.87 for the sub-scales. Conclusion: The Farsi version of ICF had acceptable and applied specifications to assess the care needs of senior citizens and it can be used as a valid tool in different areas of nursing performance and elderly health.

“…A Frisian version (Dijkstra et al, 2003), investigated in a study with nursing home residents in the northern part of the Netherlands yielded the same factorial structure as the Chinese version for proxy assessment in nursing homes. An Arabic version (Boggatz et al, 2009) that was used in Egypt for both self-assessment by older people and proxy assessments by their non-professional family members showed similar results to those of Piredda et al (2016Piredda et al ( , 2020 and Rajabi et al (2017) with one factor for support of basic needs and one factor for support of psychosocial needs.…”

AimTo determine the factorial structure of the German Care Dependency Scale (CDS) for self‐assessment in supported housing in Austria.BackgroundThe CDS is a well‐established tool for the assessment of care dependency. However, several versions of the scale showed different factorial structures depending on the country and the setting where they were applied. The factorial structure of the CDS, therefore, needed clarification prior to its application in supported housing.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsSelf‐assessments of care dependency were obtained from residents in supported housing in Austria. The factorial structure of the scale was determined by exploratory factor analysis. The resulting factor models were compared by confirmatory factor analyses with a single factor model regarding the best fit. CDS total score and sum scores of the identified factors were correlated with externally assessed care levels according to the Austrian care insurance.Results48.2% of the residents in supported housing participated, but some of them were younger than 60. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a three‐factor model with two variants in the distribution of items, depending on whether people over 59 were included in the analysis or not. The second variant showed the best fit in confirmatory factor analysis. CDS total score and sum scores of the identified factors showed statistically significant correlations with externally assessed care levels.ConclusionThe three‐factorial structure differentiates between various aspects of support and results from the particular characteristics of the setting and the care recipients. Several cross‐loadings of items indicate an ambiguous understanding of support needs. It is suggested to modify the scale to adapt it to the target group and setting.Implications for the ProfessionSelf‐assessments with a modified version of CDS in supported housing can be useful to identify the various support needs in this setting.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.
