Abstract

Purpose: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has an elevated prevalence among pregnant and postpartum women, with negative impacts on both mother and child. There is a need for brief, efficient screening tools for OCD in perinatal care because OCD is underrecognized. We evaluated the psychometric properties of the 4-item Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (OCI-4), and investigated it as a screening measure, in a perinatal sample.

Methods: Pregnant women were assessed at 20- and 34-weeks' gestation, 6 weeks postpartum, and 6 months postpartum. Reliability was assessed via test-retest analyses, and validity was examined through correlations with established measures. Criterion-related validity and diagnostic sensitivity were also examined.

Results: The OCI-4 demonstrated good test-retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity. The measure also showed moderate to high diagnostic sensitivity. A score of 3 provided the best balance of sensitivity and specificity for screening.

Conclusion: The OCI-4 is an effective screener that should be used for identifying OCD symptoms in perinatal settings. Despite the need for further study, its ease of use and quick administration make it a valuable tool for early detection and referral for assessment intervention.

期刊介绍: Archives of Women’s Mental Health is the official journal of the International Association for Women''s Mental Health, Marcé Society and the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG). The exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynecologists is one of the major aims of the journal. Its international scope includes psychodynamics, social and biological aspects of all psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women. The editors especially welcome interdisciplinary studies, focussing on the interface between psychiatry, psychosomatics, obstetrics and gynecology. Archives of Women’s Mental Health publishes rigorously reviewed research papers, short communications, case reports, review articles, invited editorials, historical perspectives, book reviews, letters to the editor, as well as conference abstracts. Only contributions written in English will be accepted. The journal assists clinicians, teachers and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women’s mental health into current and future clinical care and research.
