Anxiety among women in the perinatal period is common. Assessing the severity of perinatal anxiety will help monitor the progress of the patient through the stages of anxiety and facilitated the treatment. This study assesses the validity and reliability of the "Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale" (PASS) in the Arabic language.
The PASS was translated into Arabic. Two hundred seventeen women in the antenatal and postnatal phase participated (92 antenatal and 125 postnatal) answered to PASS, GHQ12, EPDS-10, and DASS-21. Content validity, factor analysis, internal consistency, and test retest reliability were assessed.
Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were .88 and 0.79; respectively. The scale loaded on four components: acute anxiety, social anxiety, and dissociation; specific fears and trauma; general anxiety and adjustment; and perfectionism and control. Cronbach's Alpha value for the scale was 0.78 and test retest correlation coefficient was 0.94. PASS significantly correlated with EPDS-10 (rho=0.46), GHQ-12(rho=0.58), the three components of DASS-21 (0.47, 0.50, and 0.43; respectively), and experiencing adverse life events.
The Arabic translated version of the PASS showed reasonably adequate validity and reliability and can be used to screen for anxiety disorder among women in the perinatal phase.
围产期女性焦虑普遍存在。评估围产期焦虑的严重程度有助于通过焦虑阶段监测患者的进展,并为治疗提供便利。本研究评估了阿拉伯语版“围产期焦虑筛查量表”(PASS)的有效性和可靠性。
PASS 被翻译成阿拉伯语。有 217 名处于产前和产后阶段的女性参与了研究(92 名产前,125 名产后),她们回答了 PASS、GHQ12、EPDS-10 和 DASS-21。评估了内容效度、因子分析、内部一致性和重测信度。
内容效度指数(CVI)和内容效度比(CVR)分别为 0.88 和 0.79。该量表包含四个分量表:急性焦虑、社交焦虑和分离;特定恐惧和创伤;一般焦虑和调整;以及完美主义和控制。该量表的克朗巴赫 α 值为 0.78,重测相关系数为 0.94。PASS 与 EPDS-10(rho=0.46)、GHQ-12(rho=0.58)、DASS-21 的三个分量表(rho=0.47、0.50 和 0.43)以及经历不良生活事件显著相关。
阿拉伯语版 PASS 具有合理的有效性和可靠性,可用于筛查围产期女性的焦虑障碍。
