"Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale" (EPDS) is a widely used screening instrument for assessing peripartal depression. To utilize it for Oriya-speaking population, we translated the scale and studied its internal consistency and factor structure.
Consenting Oriya-speaking pregnant women attending antenatal checkup during second or third trimester were administered the translated EPDS. Internal consistency analysis (Cronbach's alpha and item-total correlation) and exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis) with varimax rotation were carried out to identify factor structure.
The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was found to be 0.81, whereas principal component analysis revealed a three-factor solution that accounted for 87.61% of the total variance. The factors included "cognitive depression," "somatic depression," and "anxiety factor," with a percentage of variance being 41.18%, 28.09%, and 18.33%, respectively.
The translated Oriya EPDS is a reliable scale with adequate internal consistency and three-dimensional factor structures.
“爱丁堡产后抑郁量表”(EPDS)是一种广泛用于评估围产期抑郁的筛查工具。为了将其应用于说奥里亚语的人群,我们对该量表进行了翻译,并研究了其内部一致性和因子结构。
对在孕中期或孕晚期进行产前检查且同意参与的说奥里亚语的孕妇施测翻译后的EPDS。进行内部一致性分析(克朗巴哈系数和项目与总分的相关性)以及采用方差最大化旋转的探索性因子分析(主成分分析)以确定因子结构。
该量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.81,而主成分分析显示一个三因子模型,其解释了总方差的87.61%。这些因子包括“认知性抑郁”、“躯体性抑郁”和“焦虑因子”,方差百分比分别为41.18%、28.09%和18.33%。
翻译后的奥里亚语EPDS是一个具有足够内部一致性和三维因子结构的可靠量表。
