The aim of the present study was to translate the Postpartum Partner Support Scale (PPSS) into Persian and evaluate its psychometric properties among postpartum women.
A total of 248 women aged 18-39 years participated in this psychometric study. The PPSS was translated into Persian using a forward-backward method. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Rasch model analysis were used to assess the psychometric properties of the PPSS. In addition, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was completed simultaneously to assess the construct validity. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and corrected item-total correlation.
The unidimensionality of the PPSS was supported in both CFA and Rasch analysis. The PPSS had a significant negative association with EPDS (r = -0.39 p < .001). The scale had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.94) and the correlation between items and total score was satisfactory.
The Persian version of PPSS with 20 items is a valid and reliable scale to assess postpartum support.
本研究旨在将产后伴侣支持量表（PPSS）译为波斯语，并评估其在产后妇女中的心理测量特性。
共有 248 名年龄在 18-39 岁的女性参与了这项心理测量研究。PPSS 采用正向-反向翻译法译为波斯语。采用验证性因子分析（CFA）和 Rasch 模型分析评估 PPSS 的心理测量特性。此外，同时完成爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）以评估结构效度。通过计算 Cronbach's alpha 系数和校正项目总分相关来评估问卷的内部一致性。
PPSS 在 CFA 和 Rasch 分析中均支持单维性。PPSS 与 EPDS 呈显著负相关（r=-0.39，p<0.001）。该量表具有极好的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha=0.94），项目与总分之间的相关性令人满意。
PPSS 的波斯语 20 项版本是一种评估产后支持的有效且可靠的量表。
