Anxiety disorder is more common in women than men. To some extent, it can be attributed to childbirth and factors related to pregnancy in women. Therefore, it is necessary for mothers to use valid and reliable scale to assess perinatal anxiety, such as the perinatal anxiety screening scale (PASS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the PASS in Persian language.
The PASS was translated into Persian (PASS-IR). Generally, 224 women antenatal and 125 postnatal answered the questions of PASS, EPDS-10, BAI and DASS-21 questionnaires. The data was collected in the health centers of Kerman by random sampling method. Finally, content validity, factor analysis, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated.
The mean age of the participants was 32.89 years (range between 18 and 45 and SD = 6.23). More than half of the participating were at risk of severe anxiety (53.5%). Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were 0.80 and 0.87. PASS-IR subscales include social anxiety and specific fears, general anxiety and adjustment, acute anxiety and trauma, and perfectionism and control. PASS-IR was significantly correlated with EPDS-10 (rho = 0.42), BAI (rho = 0.53), DASS-21 with three concepts of depression, anxiety and stress (rho = 0.51, rho = 0.49 and rho = 0.49), and adverse life events (rho = 0.30).
The results of this study show that PASS-IR has good validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be used to screen for anxiety disorder among Iranian women in the perinatal stage.
焦虑症在女性中比男性更为常见。在某种程度上,这可以归因于女性分娩和与怀孕相关的因素。因此,母亲们有必要使用有效的、可靠的量表来评估围产期焦虑,例如围产期焦虑筛查量表(PASS)。本研究旨在探讨 PASS 量表在波斯语中的有效性和可靠性。
PASS 被翻译成波斯语(PASS-IR)。一般来说,224 名产前和 125 名产后妇女回答了 PASS、EPDS-10、BAI 和 DASS-21 问卷的问题。数据是通过随机抽样方法在克尔曼的健康中心收集的。最后,评估了内容效度、因子分析、内部一致性和重测信度。
参与者的平均年龄为 32.89 岁(年龄范围为 18 至 45 岁,标准差为 6.23)。超过一半的参与者有严重焦虑的风险(53.5%)。内容效度指数(CVI)和内容效度比(CVR)分别为 0.80 和 0.87。PASS-IR 分量表包括社交焦虑和特定恐惧、一般焦虑和调整、急性焦虑和创伤以及完美主义和控制。PASS-IR 与 EPDS-10(rho=0.42)、BAI(rho=0.53)、DASS-21 与抑郁、焦虑和压力的三个概念(rho=0.51、rho=0.49 和 rho=0.49)以及不良生活事件(rho=0.30)显著相关。
本研究结果表明,PASS-IR 具有良好的有效性和可靠性。因此,它可以用于筛查伊朗围产期妇女的焦虑症。
