This study was conducted in order to develop and evaluate a Pregnancy Stress Scale (PSS).
The PSS was developed according to Devellis' scale development process. Data that were collected from 388 pregnant women were used to evaluate the validity and reliability of the tool. An item analysis, factor analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Cronbach's α were used.
The PSS comprised seven factors that can be applied to all pregnant women, with one additional factor that is dedicated specifically for working pregnant women, resulting in a total of eight factors with 43 items: physical and psychological changes, coping in daily life, health of the mother and baby, maternal role, family support, healthcare services, social atmosphere, and reconciliation of work life. The criterion validity was supported by the Revised Prenatal Distress Questionnaire and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. The reliability of the overall scale was adequate.
This scale would be useful for understanding the complex factors that contribute to pregnant women's stress and also would contribute to the process of developing nursing interventions to reduce pregnancy stress.
开展本研究以开发和评估妊娠压力量表（PSS）。
PSS是根据德维利斯的量表开发流程编制的。从388名孕妇收集的数据用于评估该工具的效度和信度。采用了项目分析、因子分析、皮尔逊相关系数和克朗巴哈α系数。
PSS包含七个可应用于所有孕妇的因子，另有一个专门针对在职孕妇的因子，共计八个因子43个条目：身心变化、日常生活应对、母婴健康、母亲角色、家庭支持、医疗服务、社会氛围以及工作生活协调。修订版产前困扰问卷和爱丁堡产后抑郁量表支持了该量表的效标效度。总量表的信度良好。
该量表有助于理解导致孕妇压力的复杂因素，也有助于制定减轻妊娠压力的护理干预措施。
