“…Recommendations to validate the original PSAS in ethnically and socio-economically diverse populations have already been made (Fallon et al 2016), but the accessible nature of the PSAS-RSF may make reaching these groups more viable. There has been broad global interest in cultural adaptation, translation, and validation of the PSAS with two studies already published in Turkey (Duran 2020;Bayri Bingol et al 2021). We envisage a similar level of interest in the PSAS-RSF, particularly given the brief nature of the 16-item tool.…”

“…It measures four domains of anxiety specific to the postpartum period: maternal competence and attachment anxieties; infant safety and welfare anxieties; practical infant care anxieties; and psychosocial adjustment to motherhood. To date, initial validity and reliability has been demonstrated in one large international Englishspeaking sample (Fallon et al 2016), and more recently two Turkish samples (Duran 2020;Bayri Bingol et al 2021). Predictive validity has also been confirmed in relation to infant feeding outcomes and behaviours (Fallon et al 2018) and maternal bonding (Fallon et al 2021), with the PSAS predicting unique variance in these outcomes after controlling for the STAI.…”

“…These include associations with impaired maternal bond (Fallon et al 2021), reduced maternal self-efficacy (Matthies et al 2017), adverse infant feeding outcomes (Fallon et al 2018), difficult infant temperament (Britton 2011), and poor infant developmental outcomes (Glasheen et al 2010). PPA also poses an economic burden to the health care system and wider society (Bauer et al 2014), with prevalence rates ranging from 13 to 40% in high income contexts (Field 2017). It is therefore crucial that symptoms of anxiety are correctly identified and appropriately measured.…”

The Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS) is a valid, reliable measure of postpartum anxiety (PPA). However, it contains 51 items, so is limited by its length. This study aimed to reduce the number of items in the PSAS, produce a small number of high-performing short-form tools, and confirm the factor structure of the most statistically and theoretically meaningful model. A pooled sample of English-speaking mothers (N = 2033) with infants up to 12 months were randomly split into three samples. (1) A principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to initially reduce the items (n = 672). (2) Four short-form versions of varying length (informed by statistical, theoretical, lay-person, and expert-guided feedback) were developed and their factor structure examined (n = 673). (3) A final confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to confirm the factor structure of the PSAS Research Short-Form (PSAS-RSF) (n = 688). PCA and theoretical review reduced the items from 51 to 34 (version 1). Statistical review retained 22 items (version 2). Quantitative expert panel data retained 17 items (version 3). Qualitative expert panel data retained 16 items (version 4). The 16-item version was deemed the most theoretically and psychometrically robust. The resulting 16-item PSAS-RSF demonstrated good psychometric properties and reliability. The PSAS-RSF is the first brief research tool which has been validated to measure PPA. Our findings demonstrate it is theoretically meaningful, statistically robust, reliable, and valid. This study extends the use of the measure up to 12 months postpartum, offering broader opportunity for measurement while further enhancing accessibility through brevity.

Background Global crises inevitably increase levels of anxiety in postpartum populations. Effective and efficient measurement is therefore essential. This study aimed to create a 12-item research short form of the 51-item Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale [PSAS] and validate it for use in rapid response research at a time of global crises [PSAS-RSF-C]. We also present the same 12-items, in five other languages (Italian, French, Chinese, Spanish, Dutch) to increase global accessibility of a psychometric tool to assess maternal mental health. Methods Twelve items from the PSAS were selected on the basis of a review of their factor loadings. An on-line sample of UK mothers (N = 710) of infants up to 12 weeks old completed the PSAS-RSF-C during COVID-19 ‘lockdown’. Results Principal component analyses on a randomly split sample (n = 344) revealed four factors, identical in nature to the original PSAS, which in combination explained 75% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analyses (n = 366) demonstrated the four-factor model fit the data well. Reliability of the overall scale and of the underlying factors in both samples proved excellent. Conclusions Findings suggest the PSAS-RSF-C may prove useful as a clinical screening tool and is the first postpartum-specific psychometric scale to be validated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This offers psychometrically sound assessment of postpartum anxiety. By increasing the accessibility of the PSAS, we aim to enable researchers the opportunity to measure maternal anxiety, rapidly, at times of global crisis.

“…Periode penting ini memiliki banyak perubahan fisiologis dan psikologis sehingga wanita menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan dan peran barunya (Almalik, 2017). Selain perubahan fisik ibu nifas juga mengalami perubahan hormonal yang merupakan proses transisi pasikologis yang sangat mendalam (Bayri Bingol et al, 2021).…”

Masa Nifas rentan terhadap masalah kesehatan mental. Salah satu gangguan kesehatan mental yang terjadi pada masa nifas adalah postpartum blues. Postpartum blues merupakan manifestasi pasikopatologis paling ringan dan paling umum terjadi segera setelah melahirkan pada minggu pertama sampai 10 hari setelah melahirkan puncaknya antara 3 sampai 5 hari postpartum dan menurun pada 10 sampai 12 hari sesudahnya. Postpartum blues berpotensi menjadi prediktor depresi postpartum dan jika kondisi ini berlanjut dapat menyebabkan gangguan mental yang lebih parah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kecemasan, cara persalinan dan onset laktasi dengan kejadian postpartum blues. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional dengan alat pengumpul data berupa kuesioner. Analisis data menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji chi square terhadap 122 responden ibu nifas yang mendapatkan perawatan di BLUD RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebesar 37,7% responden mengalami postpartum blues dengan skor EPDS≥10. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kecemasan (OR=6,28 CI 95% 2,31-16,72; p=0,000), cara persalinan (OR=8,78 CI 95% 3,20-24,09; p=0,000) dan onset laktasi (OR=6,42 CI 95% 2,09-19,74; p=0,001 dengan kejadian postpartum blues. Dapat disimpulkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan kecemasan, cara persalinan dan onset laktasi dengan postpartum Blues di BLUD RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya
