“…Lau Y et al showed that EPDS in China consists of the three factors as depression factor(items 6, 7, 8. 9 and 10), anxiety factor(items 3,4 and 5) and anhedonia factor(items 1 and 2) [31]. These results are very similar to the factor structure of EPDS in Japan by our study.…”

BackgroundThe Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is a widely used screening tool for postpartum depression (PPD). Although the reliability and validity of EPDS in Japanese has been confirmed and the prevalence of PPD is found to be about the same as Western countries, the factor structure of the Japanese version of EPDS has not been elucidated yet.Methods690 Japanese mothers completed all items of the EPDS at 1 month postpartum. We divided them randomly into two sample sets. The first sample set (n = 345) was used for exploratory factor analysis, and the second sample set was used (n = 345) for confirmatory factor analysis.ResultsThe result of exploratory factor analysis indicated a three-factor model consisting of anxiety, depression and anhedonia. The results of confirmatory factor analysis suggested that the anxiety and anhedonia factors existed for EPDS in a sample of Japanese women at 1 month postpartum. The depression factor varies by the models of acceptable fit.ConclusionsWe examined EPDS scores. As a result, “anxiety” and “anhedonia” exist for EPDS among postpartum women in Japan as already reported in Western countries. Cross-cultural research is needed for future research.

“…The anxiety factor (items 3, 4 and 5) was shown in many countries, such as Brazil [33], [34], China [31], and the Netherlands [19]. Considering the existence of a common anxiety factor across different countries and cultures, the importance of anxiety symptoms for PPD has been revealed.…”

“…According to the recommendations for personality data [31,32] , we evaluated the model goodness-of-fit using (1) robust root mean square error of approximation (R-RMSEA) with a 90% confidence interval for non-normal data, (2) standardised root mean squared residuals (SRMR) and (3) standardised factor loadings. A good fit to the data was indicated by SRMR < 0.08, R-RMSEA < 0.06 [33] and standardised factor loadings ≥ 0.4 [34] . If the model did not fit the data well, it was re-specified by deleting items which did not contribute to their corresponding component, i.e.…”

Background: Some personality traits were found to be relevant to engagement in smoking. Examination of associations between personality traits and behaviours in smoking and cessation will guide the development of effective preventive and cessation interventions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and reliability of a Chinese version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI) for assessing the five personality dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience in adults who had a smoking habit.Methods: 1173 Chinese smokers who had received smoking cessation intervention at a smoking cessation health centre in Hong Kong from 21 August 2000 to January 2002 were followed-up by telephone between February and August 2008. Participants completed a questionnaire including the 44-item BFI and perceived health status. A total of 480 (41%) participants completed the survey and 439 questionnaires without missing were analysed. The factor structure of the BFI was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis, reliability by Cronbach alpha and concurrent validity by personality scores by gender and relationship with perceived health. The convergent and discriminant validity of the reduced version of BFI was compared to the original version using the mulittrait-multimethod matrix approach.Results: Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the five-factor structure provided an acceptable fit after removing 15 items which did not contribute to their corresponding factors. The reduced 29-item BFI had internal reliability estimates ranged from 0.69 for agreeableness to 0.81 for neuroticism. Women scored significantly higher in neuroticism and lower in openness to experience. All the correlations of the five personality traits with perceived health were in the expected directions and statistically significant except openness to experience. The four requirements of convergent and discriminant validity of the reduced 29-item BFI were met. Conclusions:These results showed that the satisfactory psychometric properties of the Chinese version of BFI with modifications; suggesting that the Chinese translation of the abbreviated 29-item BFI could be a useful and practical tool in measuring personality traits among Chinese adults had a smoking habit.

“…The 10-item Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) (Cox et al 1987) is the most widely used self-report measure for the assessment of PPD across diverse racial/ethnic and cultural groups including African Americans and Hispanics (Gibson et al 2009; Hartley et al 2014; Howell et al 2012; Lau et al 2010; Lee King 2012; Montazeri et al 2007; Odalovic et al 2015; Okano et al 1996; Pop et al 1992; Small et al 2007; Toreki et al 2014; Vivilaki et al 2009). Although Cox et al (1987) originally designed the EPDS as a one-dimensional measurement tool, the recognition that depressive symptoms can be differentially experienced across cultural and racial/ethnic groups has led to studies examining structural equivalence of the measure in different populations using factor analysis (Cunningham et al 2015; Reichenheim et al 2011).…”

The 10-item Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most widely used self-report measure of postpartum depression. Although originally described as a one-dimensional measure, the recognition that depressive symptoms may be differentially experienced across cultural and racial/ethnic groups has led to studies examining structural equivalence of the EPDS in different populations. Variation of the factor structure remains understudied across racial/ethnic groups of U.S. women. We examined the factor structure of the EPDS assessed 6 months postpartum in 515 women (29% Black, 53% Hispanic, 18% White) enrolled in an urban Boston longitudinal birth cohort. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified that a three-factor model, including depression, anxiety, and anhedonia subscales, was the most optimal fit in our sample as a whole and across race/ethnicity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine the fit of both the two- and three-factor models reported in prior research. CFA confirmed the best fit for a three-factor model, with minimal differences across race/ethnicity. “Things get on top of me” loaded on the anxiety factor among Hispanics, but loaded on the depression factor in Whites and African Americans. These findings suggest that EPDS factor structure may need to be adjusted for diverse samples and warrants further study.
