a mother׳s lack of confidence in the early postnatal period may negatively influence their ability to care for their infant. Parenting confidence contributes to the parent-infant relationship and other aspects of infant development. The Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale is a 15-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure parents' subjective confidence in their parenting abilities, or 'perceived parenting self-efficacy', and is designed for mothers with infants aged 0-12 months.
to translate the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale into Nepali language and assess the validity and reliability among Nepalese postnatal mothers.
cross-sectional study.
outpatient department of maternity and women׳s hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal.
one hundred postnatal mothers within 5-6 weeks of childbirth were recruited using the convenience sampling method.
following back-translation procedures, mothers completed questionnaires during follow-up visit at immunisation/postnatal clinics. For the validity and reliability have been assessed internal consistency, discriminant validity, and construct validity.
the translated Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale mean score was 35.47±5.48, ranging from 32 to 42. Cronbach׳s alpha coefficient for internal consistency was 0.87. A difference was found between primiparous and multiparous mothers׳ confidence scores. There was a significant correlation between maternal confidence and anxiety scores. Demographic response patterns suggest that the maternal confidence level was affected by education level.
the Nepali version of Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale showed adequate reliability and validity. Therefore, the Nepali Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale is considered a suitable instrument to assess maternal confidence in Nepali postnatal mothers.
母亲在产后早期缺乏信心可能会对她们照顾婴儿的能力产生负面影响。育儿信心有助于亲子关系及婴儿发育的其他方面。卡里塔尼育儿信心量表是一份包含15个条目的自我报告问卷，旨在衡量父母对其育儿能力的主观信心，即“感知育儿自我效能”，该量表适用于有0至12个月婴儿的母亲。
将卡里塔尼育儿信心量表翻译成尼泊尔语，并评估尼泊尔产后母亲的效度和信度。
横断面研究。
尼泊尔加德满都妇产医院门诊部。
采用便利抽样法招募了100名分娩后5至6周的产后母亲。
经过回译程序后，母亲们在免疫接种/产后诊所的随访期间完成问卷。已对效度和信度进行了内部一致性、区分效度和结构效度评估。
翻译后的卡里塔尼育儿信心量表平均得分为35.47±5.48，范围在32至42分之间。内部一致性的克朗巴哈α系数为0.87。初产妇和经产妇的信心得分存在差异。母亲信心与焦虑得分之间存在显著相关性。人口统计学反应模式表明，母亲的信心水平受教育程度影响。
尼泊尔版卡里塔尼育儿信心量表显示出足够的信度和效度。因此，尼泊尔卡里塔尼育儿信心量表被认为是评估尼泊尔产后母亲信心的合适工具。
