Although pregnancy increases the vulnerability to anxiety, no specific assessment instruments are usually used to detect it. The objective of this study was to adapt the Pregnancy Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ) to Spanish population, as well as analyze its validity and reliability. A sample of 367 nulliparous pregnant women with a normal risk status filled in a socio-demographic and obstetric-gynaecological questionnaire, the PRAQ, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). After performing a factorial analysis, a five-factor model that explains 53.1% of the variance was obtained. Estimates of internal consistency reliability were adequate (range = .78 to .93) for the five factors included in the final confirmatory factor analysis, and for the total scale (.97). Significant correlation among PRAQ, EPDS, and STAI was found (p < .001). The 85th percentile (score 234 or more) was used as a cut-off point to identify those women with high pregnancy-specific anxiety. In accordance with the results obtained, the PRAQ can be considered a useful screening tool to evaluate pregnancy-related anxiety among the Spanish population.
尽管怀孕会增加焦虑的易感性，但通常没有使用特定的评估工具来检测它。本研究的目的是使《妊娠相关焦虑问卷》（PRAQ）适用于西班牙人群，并分析其有效性和可靠性。367名风险状况正常的未生育孕妇样本填写了一份社会人口统计学和妇产科问卷、PRAQ、爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）和状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）。进行因子分析后，得到了一个解释53.1%方差的五因素模型。最终验证性因子分析中包含的五个因素以及总量表的内部一致性信度估计值是足够的（范围=0.78至0.93），总量表为0.97。发现PRAQ、EPDS和STAI之间存在显著相关性（p<0.001）。第85百分位数（得分234及以上）被用作识别那些有高度妊娠特异性焦虑的女性的临界点。根据所得结果，PRAQ可被视为评估西班牙人群中妊娠相关焦虑的有用筛查工具。
