The aim of this study was to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the short form of the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale in Southern Brazil.
MATERIAL & METHODS: Research volunteers completed the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale-Short Form (PDSS-SF) and a Structured Clinical Interview for Mental Disorders (SCID). Evaluation parameters included reliability and correlational investigations analyses.
The proposed Portuguese version of the PDSS-SF attained significant Cronbach's alphas (0.71 or superior). The best cut-off score (≥17) accounted for 89% of sensitivity and 77% of specificity. In addition, nonparametric correlation procedures revealed a significant correlation between the screening results of the PDSS-SF and the assessment based on the SCID.
The Portuguese version of the PDSS-SF demonstrated sound psychometric properties. The results of the correlation analyses between the PDSS-SF and the SCID assessment also indicate a significant concurrent validity. The Portuguese version of the PDSS was adequately translated and adapted to Portuguese.
本研究旨在验证巴西南部产后抑郁筛查量表简版的有效性和可靠性。
研究志愿者完成了产后抑郁筛查量表简版（PDSS-SF）和精神障碍结构化临床访谈（SCID）。评估参数包括可靠性和相关性调查分析。
提议的葡萄牙语版PDSS-SF获得了显著的克朗巴哈系数（0.71或更高）。最佳临界值（≥17）的敏感性为89%，特异性为77%。此外，非参数相关程序显示PDSS-SF的筛查结果与基于SCID的评估之间存在显著相关性。
葡萄牙语版的PDSS-SF显示出良好的心理测量特性。PDSS-SF与SCID评估之间的相关分析结果也表明具有显著的同时效度。PDSS的葡萄牙语版已进行了充分的翻译并适用于葡萄牙语。
