新冠肺炎大流行的负担对产后体验产生了不利影响。然而，目前还没有经过充分测试的针对大流行的产后压力措施。我们开发了大流行相关的妊娠应激量表(PREPS)的产后改良版，并检查了这一新测量的心理测量学特性。在大流行开始时，每隔3-4个月在怀孕期间和产后对怀孕的妇女进行在线问卷调查。这项研究报告了在产后两个时间点之一使用该工具的妇女的大流行相关产后应激量表(PREPS-PP)的心理测量学特性。在两个时间点(n=1301和n=1009)，CFAs显示了与产前准备(准备应激、感染应激和积极评价)相同的三因素结构的良好模型拟合。PREPS-PP各分量表均显示出良好的信度(α‘S.78-87)。准备压力和感染压力水平越高，健康和经济负担越大，心理痛苦越大。PREPS-PP是与新冠肺炎大流行相关的产后应激的可靠和有效的测量工具。它是未来研究与大流行相关的产后压力在短期和长期内如何影响家庭的一个有价值的工具。
Postpartum experiences have been adversely affected by the burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are no well-tested measures of pandemic-specific postpartum stress. We developed a modified, postpartum version of the Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress Scale (PREPS) and examined the psychometric properties of this novel measure. Online questionnaires were administered at 3–4 month intervals throughout pregnancy and postpartum to women pregnant at the start of the pandemic. This study reports psychometric properties of the Pandemic-Related Postpartum Stress Scale (PREPS-PP) among women who were administered this instrument at either of two postpartum timepoints. At both timepoints (n=1301 and n=1009), CFAs revealed good model fit of the same three-factor structure identified for the prenatal PREPS (Preparedness Stress, Infection Stress, and Positive Appraisal). All PREPS-PP subscales demonstrated good reliability (α’s .78–87). Higher levels of Preparedness Stress and Infection Stress were associated with greater health and financial burdens and psychological distress. The PREPS-PP is a reliable and valid measure of postpartum stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a valuable tool for future research into how pandemic-related postpartum stress may affect families in the short- and long-term.
