The PBQ was found to be a valid and reliable tool for mother-infant bonding assessment in almost all languages, with a reliability of 0.85 for the German, and 0.90 for the Spanish (Reck, 2006;Garcia-Esteve, 2016).…”

Background:Mother to infant bonding is the most important process in the puerperium, where many instruments have been designed to screen for mother-infant bonding issues. In this study, we will translate and validate the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) to the Arabic and to measure the mother-infant bonding in a sample of Jordanian mothers. Materials and methods: This sample is a representative sample taken from multiple centers in Amman,Jordan. Post-partum lady who give a birth to a live healthy baby, regardless the mood of the delivery, who have been discharged with their babies home. Women with multiple pregnancies were also included. We calculated reliability indices and relevant statistics using SPSS.Results: A total of 120 participants included in this study. The mean age for the included sample was 28.1 (±6.3) years. Scale internal consistency measured via Cronbach's alpha is 0. 720. Average intraclass correlation coefficient for single measure is 0.067 (CI 0.045 to 0.097). Mean score for the 4 factors of the questionnaire were: Factor 1: 17.43 (±3.95), factor 2: 4.10 (±3.98), factor 3: 7.99 (±2.39), factor 4: 0.37 (±0.94). Conclusion: We translated and validated an Arabic version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire(PBQ), an easy and widely used instrument to measure mother-infant bonding disorders. We observed a high frequency of bonding disorder among a Jordanian sample.

“…"Bonding failure" was measured by the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) at T1 and T2. The PBQ was developed by Brockington [33] to screen for bonding disorders, and the Japanese version of the PBQ was developed by Suetsugu et al [34]. The validity and reliability of the scale were examined by comparing the results of mothers with and without postpartum depression.…”

Background: A traumatic birth experience may affect mother-infant bonding. This study examined the relationship between aspects of traumatic birth experience and bonding failure for mothers at 1 month and 4 months after delivery. Methods: This longitudinal study surveyed 130 mothers at 1 month (T1) and 4 months (T2) after delivery. We performed multiple regression analysis with the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) as the dependent variable and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve score (F.APGAR), and demographic data as independent variables. Results: The IES-R and the EPDS were relevant factors for the PBQ at T1. The IES-R was not a relevant factor, but the EPDS was a relevant factor for the PBQ at T2. The IES-R at T1 was not a predictor for the PBQ at T2. The PBQ at T1 was the largest predictor for the PBQ at T2, when compared with the EPDS, F.APGAR, and dismissive attachment pattern (RQ) at T1. Conclusions: A traumatic birth experience had a strong influence on bonding failure at T1. However, the important factor affecting bonding failure was not a traumatic birth experience, but depression at T2. If a traumatic birth experience is accompanied by depression at T2, it may affect bonding failure. The bonding failure affected by the traumatic birth experience at T1 could affect bonding failure at T2. Health professionals should assess the degree of the traumatic birth experience and start to care for mothers at T1.

“…The questionnaire at 1 month postpartum contained questions on infant feeding modality, breast complications (nipple pains, cracked nipples, nipple shape, breast induration, and breast in ammation), the Japanese version of the Breastfeeding Self-E cacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) [9], the Japanese version of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) [14], the Japanese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) [15], the Japanese version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (J-PBQ) [16], and support from husbands or parents. Infant feeding modality was selected from among exclusive breastfeeding, partial breastfeeding, or formula feeding.…”

Background: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding of infants at 3 months postpartum is only 50% in Japan. In order to increase this rate, we aimed to examine modifiable factors related to exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months postpartum by focusing on breastfeeding-related and psychosocial variables at 1 month postpartum. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in a secondary medical care center in Osaka, Japan from February 2017 to October 2018. Demographic variables, infant feeding modality, breastfeeding-related variables, and psychosocial variables were obtained using questionnaires at 1 month postpartum. Daytime salivary cortisol levels before and after breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum were measured as a biological marker for stress responses associated with breastfeeding. Each infant’s feeding modality was re-assessed at 3 months postpartum. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months postpartum. Results: Of the 104 participants, 61 reported exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months postpartum. The following factors were significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months postpartum: multiparity (adjusted odds ratio, 95% confidence interval: 11.13, 2.08–59.59), having a university degree (5.25, 1.04–26.53), no plan to return to work by 6 months postpartum (0.02, 0.00–0.46), exclusive breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum (42.84, 6.05–303.52), lower cortisol level after breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum (0.00, 0.00–0.02), and higher breastfeeding self-efficacy scale score at 1 month postpartum (1.07, 1.00–1.14). In parity-specific analyses, exclusive breastfeeding (25.33, 4.75–134.98) and lower cortisol level after breastfeeding (0.00, 0.00–0.21) at 1 month postpartum in primiparous women, and lower cortisol level after breastfeeding (0.00, 0.00–0.94), higher breastfeeding self-efficacy score (1.18, 1.05–1.32), and absence of breast complications (0.09, 0.01-0.82) at 1 month postpartum in multiparous women were associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months postpartum. Conclusions: Stress levels after breastfeeding, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and presence of breast complications could be modifiable factors related to subsequent exclusive breastfeeding. Further research is needed to examine whether approaches to reducing breastfeeding-related stress, improving breastfeeding self-efficacy, and preventing breast complications during lactation are effective to increase exclusive breastfeeding practices.
