目的：本研究的目的是创建并验证 Preis 及其同事开发的流行病相关妊娠压力量表 (PREPS) 的英文原版的波兰语版本（2020a；2020b）。我们还调查了孕产妇产科和流行病相关因素与 PREPS 的关联，以测试其敏感性。方法：采用非随机抽样的横断面研究设计。该样本总共包括 1148 名处于不同妊娠期的孕妇。他们是通过社交媒体招募的，并于 2020 年 4 月至 5 月完成了在线研究调查问卷。 结果：本研究的结果表明波兰版 PREPS 具有令人满意的心理测量特性。我们的研究结果证实了 PREPS 英文原版作者发现的因子结构。该量表由两个压力子量表组成：围产期感染压力和准备压力以及一个额外的积极评价量表。与大流行相关的妊娠压力与对分娩的恐惧和非大流行妊娠特异性压力显着相关，这增强了其收敛有效性。初产妇、妊娠中期或晚期的孕妇、接受过不孕不育治疗的女性以及妊娠高危人群会经历较高水平的与流行病相关的妊娠压力。结论：波兰版的 PREPS 具有良好的心理测量特性，并复制了原始英语 PREPS 的结构。该压力量表可用于调查 COVID-19 大流行的其他影响，并确定面临高压力风险的女性和需要干预的女性。
Purpose: The aim of the study was to create and to validate the Polish version of the original English version of the Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress Scale (PREPS) developed by Preis and colleagues (2020a; 2020b) We additionally investigated the association of maternal obstetrical and pandemic related factors with the PREPS in order to test its sensitivity.Methods: A cross-sectional study design with nonrandom sampling was used. The sample consisted of a total of 1148 pregnant women in various trimesters. They were recruited via social media and completed an online study questionnaire in April-May 2020.Results: The results of the present research indicate satisfactory psychometric properties of the Polish version of the PREPS. Our findings confirm the factor structure found by the authors of the original English version of the PREPS. The scale consists of two stress subscales: perinatal infection stress and preparedness stress and one additional positive appraisal scale. Pandemic-related pregnancy stress is significantly associated with fear of childbirth and with non-pandemic pregnancy-specific stress, which bolsters its convergent validity. Higher levels of pandemic-related pregnancy stress are experienced by primiparas, those in their second or third trimester, women who received infertility treatment, and those with a high-risk pregnancy.Conclusions: The Polish version of the PREPS has sound psychometric properties and replicates the structure of the original English PREPS. This stress scale can be used to investigate additional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify women at risk of high stress and those who need intervention.
