In the presence of physical and psychological disturbances in the postpartum period, perceived social support is often regarded as a protective factor in women's mental health. This work evaluates the psychometric properties of the French version of a questionnaire widely used internationally to measure perceived social support, which has not been yet validated in French: the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). This study collected data from 148 women (30.5 ± 5.12 years) who agreed to complete the MSPSS and a scale assessing symptoms of postpartum depression (Edinburgh Post-Natal Depression Scale, EPDS) 1 and 4 months after childbirth. The results confirm the original three-factor structure of the scale. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients are excellent. The total scale score is correlated with all three dimensions and a significantly negative correlation is found between MSPSS and EPDS. The results suggest that the French tool has generally good internal reliability. The MSPSS can provide useful data helping to identify French-speaking people at risk for negative feelings (e.g., mood disorders of perinatal period).
在产后出现生理和心理困扰的情况下，感知到的社会支持通常被视为女性心理健康的一个保护因素。本研究评估了一份在国际上广泛用于测量感知到的社会支持的问卷的法语版本的心理测量特性，该问卷尚未在法语环境中得到验证：多维感知社会支持量表（MSPSS）。本研究收集了148名女性（30.5±5.12岁）的数据，她们同意在产后1个月和4个月完成MSPSS以及一份评估产后抑郁症状的量表（爱丁堡产后抑郁量表，EPDS）。结果证实了该量表原有的三因素结构。克朗巴哈α系数极佳。量表总分与所有三个维度相关，并且在MSPSS和EPDS之间发现了显著的负相关。结果表明，该法语工具总体上具有良好的内部信度。MSPSS可以提供有用的数据，有助于识别有负面情绪风险（如围产期情绪障碍）的法语使用者。
