The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale-Korean (EPDS-K) and compare the specified models (one-, two-, three-factor model, and a model in the current study) in pregnant, first-trimester Korean women.
The study consisted of two groups of 100 first-trimester Korean women recruited from maternity clinics in Korea.
The results show that the EPDS-K has depression, anxiety, and anhedonia factors, and that the validity of the EPDS-K with Korean women is questionable.
Healthcare providers should test the psychometric properties of tools for screening accuracy, clinical decision-making, and understanding of a phenomenon within different cultural settings.
本研究旨在检验爱丁堡产后抑郁量表韩语版(EPDS-K)的有效性,并比较特定模型(单因素、双因素、三因素模型以及本研究中的一个模型)在韩国孕早期女性中的情况。
该研究包括两组,每组100名从韩国妇产科诊所招募的孕早期韩国女性。
结果表明,EPDS-K具有抑郁、焦虑和快感缺失因素,且EPDS-K在韩国女性中的有效性存疑。
医疗保健提供者应测试工具的心理测量特性,以确保在不同文化背景下进行准确的筛查、临床决策以及对某一现象的理解。
