Abstract

Background: This study aimed to validate the French version of the Well-being in Pregnancy (WiP) scale, a 12-item instrument assessing three dimensions of well-being during pregnancy: positive pregnancy, concerns over support after birth, and confidence in motherhood.

Method: A sample of 299 pregnant women (second and third trimesters) in the French-speaking part of Switzerland completed an online survey.

Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor structure of the WiP and showed good internal consistency. Differences in the WiP scores were found according to women's employment status, financial resources, pregnancy trimester, pregnancy complications, parity, and previous childbirth complications. However, given the nature of the data, measurement invariance could not be examined and group comparisons should be interpreted with caution. The WiP scores were positively correlated with life satisfaction, positive affect, and negatively correlated with negative affect, anxiety and depression symptoms.

Conclusion: The French WiP is a valid tool for assessing well-being during pregnancy and represents a valuable resource for both research and antenatal care.

法语版妊娠期幸福感量表：翻译与心理测量验证。

背景：本研究旨在验证法语版的怀孕幸福感（WiP）量表，该量表由12个项目组成，评估怀孕期间幸福感的三个维度：积极怀孕、对出生后支持的关注和对母亲的信心。方法：在瑞士法语区的299名孕妇（妊娠中期和晚期）完成了一项在线调查。结果：验证性因子分析支持WiP原来的三因子结构，具有良好的内部一致性。根据妇女的就业状况、经济状况、妊娠三个月、妊娠并发症、胎次和以前的分娩并发症，发现WiP得分存在差异。然而，考虑到数据的性质，测量不变性不能被检查，组比较应该谨慎解释。WiP得分与生活满意度、积极情绪呈显著正相关，与消极情绪、焦虑、抑郁症状呈显著负相关。结论：法国WiP是评估怀孕期间健康状况的有效工具，是研究和产前保健的宝贵资源。
