Robust forms of measurement such as the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP), which recognise the complexity of the construct of pregnancy planning/intention, are being adopted worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Mozambican Portuguese version of the LMUP. The Brazilian Portuguese interviewer-administered LMUP was culturally adapted for use in Mozambique and pre-tested with 28 women. Field testing included 524 women aged 16-42. Completion rates of LMUP items were 100%. LMUP scores 0-12 were captured. In terms of reliability (internal consistency), Cronbach's alpha was 0.90, item-rest correlations were <0.2, and all inter-item correlations were positive. In terms of construct validity, principal components analysis showed that measurement was unidimensional, confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit, and all hypotheses were met. We conclude that the Mozambican Portuguese LMUP is reliable, valid and suitable to use in Mozambique.
诸如伦敦意外怀孕测量法（LMUP）这类稳健的测量方式正在全球范围内被采用，该方法认识到了怀孕计划/意图这一概念的复杂性。本研究的目的是评估莫桑比克葡萄牙语版LMUP的心理测量特性。巴西葡萄牙语版由访谈者实施的LMUP在文化上进行了调整，以适用于莫桑比克，并对28名女性进行了预测试。现场测试包括524名年龄在16至42岁之间的女性。LMUP各项的完成率为100%。记录了0至12分的LMUP分数。在信度（内部一致性）方面，克朗巴哈系数为0.90，项目与总分的相关性小于0.2，且所有项目间的相关性均为正。在结构效度方面，主成分分析表明测量是单维的，验证性因素分析表明模型拟合良好，所有假设均得到满足。我们得出结论，莫桑比克葡萄牙语版LMUP是可靠、有效的，适合在莫桑比克使用。
