摘要

问题：目前还没有针对阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）讲阿拉伯语的妇女的产后育儿压力检查表（PCSC）的有效版本。背景：产后时期是妇女生活中的一个转变阶段，在此期间，母亲极易受到心理健康问题的影响，再加上照顾孩子的需求。育儿压力是产后抑郁症的重要预测因素。因此，需要一种有效的阿拉伯语育儿压力测量方法。目的：本研究旨在对居住在阿联酋的母亲的阿拉伯语版本的PCSC进行翻译和心理测量学评估。方法：在2017年2月至2018年9月期间，对阿联酋399名女性的PCSC进行了心理测量学评估。在文书翻译中运用最佳做法；心理测量评估包括项目测试和项目总相关、验证性因子分析、双时间点测试和效度测试。结果：本研究编制了一份包含19个条目的单维度和多维维度量表，Geomin旋转因子载荷范围为0.31 ~ 0.84，平均方差为0.46，具有较好的效度。阿拉伯语PCSC在产后3个月（α= = 0.79）和6个月（α=0.80）具有可接受的信度系数，产后3个月和产后6个月具有足够的并发效度和预测效度。讨论：托儿压力是一个国际上可靠且有效的概念。PCSC与抑郁、焦虑症状也呈正相关。结论：阿拉伯语PCSC是一种经过心理计量学验证的测量方法，可用于未来的阿拉伯语研究，并可能导致改善阿拉伯语社区孕产妇心理健康干预措施。

Adaptation and psychometric assessment of the postpartum childcare stress checklist among Arab women in the United Arab Emirates

Problem

There is currently no validated version of the Postpartum Childcare Stress Checklist (PCSC) in the context of Arabic-speaking women in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Background

The postpartum period is a transformative phase in a woman's life, during which mothers are highly vulnerable to mental health problems, compounded by childcare demands. Childcare stress is a strong predictor of postpartum depression. Thus, there is a need for a validated Arabic measure of childcare stress.

Aim

This study aims to translate and psychometrically evaluate the Arabic version of the PCSC among mothers residing in the UAE.

Methods

The PCSC was psychometrically assessed in a cohort of 399 women in the UAE between February 2017 and September 2018. Using best practices in instrument translation; psychometric evaluation included item-test and item-total correlations, confirmatory factor analysis, tests at two-time points, and validity tests.

Results

The analysis produced a 19-item scale in both unidimensional and multidimensional formats, with Geomin rotated factor loadings ranging from 0.31 to 0.84 and an average variance of 0.46, demonstrating adequate validity. The Arabic PCSC had acceptable reliability coefficients at three (α= = 0.79) and six (α=0.80) months and adequate concurrent and predictive validity at three and six months postpartum.

Discussion

Childcare stress is an internationally reliable and validated construct. The PCSC was also positively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Conclusion

The Arabic PCSC is a psychometrically validated measure which can be used in future Arabic-language studies and may lead to improved interventions for maternal mental health across Arab-speaking communities.
