Reliability of the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

“…Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale ¼ 0.97 (Le et al, 2009). Cronbach's alpha of the seven subscales ranged from 0.72 to 0.89, 0.95 for the overall scale (McCabe et al, 2012).…”

“…This distress may be due to the loss of the parental role during infant hospitalization and worry about infant health or survival and leads to heightened anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress (Holditch-Davis et al, 2009; McCabe et al, 2012; Lasiuk, Corneau, & Newburn-Cook, 2013; Rogers, Kidokoro, Wallendorf, & Inder, 2013). Maternal distress continues after the infant is discharged home, interfering with mother-infant interactions and infant development (Feeley et al, 2011; Gray, Edwards, O’Callaghan, & Cuskelly, 2012; Holditch-Davis et al, 2009; Lefkowitz, Baxt, & Evans, 2010).…”

Although studies have examined the effects of interventions focused on preterm infants, few studies have examined the effects on maternal distress (anxiety, depressive symptoms, post-traumatic stress symptoms, parenting stress) or parenting. This study examined the effects of the auditory-tactile-visual-vestibular (ATVV) intervention and kangaroo care (KC) on maternal distress and the mother-infant relationship compared to an attention control group. 240 mothers from four hospitals were randomly assigned to the three groups. Maternal characteristics in the three groups were similar: 64.1% of ATVV mothers, 64.2% of KC mothers, and 76.5% of control mothers were African American; maternal age averaged 26.3 years for ATVV mothers, 28.1 for KC mothers, and 26.6 for control mothers; and years of education averaged 13.6 for ATVV and KC mothers, and 13.1 for control mothers. Mothers only differed on parity: 68.4% of ATVV and 54.7% of KC mothers were first-time mothers as compared to 43.6% of control mothers. Their infants had a similar mean gestational ages (27.0 weeks for ATVV, 27.2 for KC, and 27.4 for control) and mean birthweights (993 grams for ATVV, 1022 for KC, and 1023 for control). Mothers completed questionnaires during hospitalization, and at 2, 6 and 12 months corrected age on demographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, state anxiety, post-traumatic stress symptoms, parenting stress, worry about child health, and child vulnerability (only at 12 months). At 2 and 6 months, 45-minute videotapes of mother-infant interactions were made, and the HOME Inventory was scored. Behaviors coded from the videotapes and a HOME subscale were combined into five interactive dimensions: maternal positive involvement and developmental stimulation and child social behaviors, developmental maturity, and irritability. Intervention effects were examined using general linear mixed models controlling for parity and recruitment site. The groups did not differ on any maternal distress variable. Kangaroo care mothers showed a more rapid decline in worry than the other mothers. The only interactive dimensions that differed between the groups were child social behaviors and developmental maturity, which were both higher for kangaroo care infants. Change over time in several individual infant behaviors was affected by the interventions. When mothers reported on the interventions they performed, regardless of group assignment, massage (any form including ATVV) was associated with a more rapid decline in depressive symptoms and higher HOME scores. Performing either intervention was associated with lower parenting stress. These findings suggest that as short-term interventions, KC and ATVV, have important effects on mothers and their preterm infants, especially in the first half of the first year.

“…This resulted in the current PDSS, which is composed of 35 items designed to measure 7 dimensions of PDD: sleeping/eating disturbances, anxiety/ insecurities, emotional lability, cognitive impairment, loss of self, guilt/shame, and contemplating harming oneself. 29 The validity of PDSS scores has also been examined by Beck and Gable 23 during measure development. The mother then responds by indicating her level of agreement or disagreement, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”
