分娩是一个充满挑战和情感的经历，伴随着强烈的积极和/或消极情绪。出生的记忆可能与女性产后如何认知处理出生事件以及潜在的父母适应有关。出生记忆的特征也可能与产后心理健康有关。本文报告了一份调查问卷的开发和评估，以测量分娩记忆的特征，并研究出生记忆与心理健康之间的关系。出生记忆和回忆问卷（MARQ）是通过从文献综述和记忆特征的一般测量中生成项目来开发的，以涵盖与分娩相关的维度。作为分娩在线研究的一部分，523名妇女在分娩后的第一年（M = 23.7周）接受了59个项目。最终量表的有效性通过检查有和没有可能的抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍的妇女之间的差异进行检查。主成分分析确定了23个项目，代表记忆的六个方面，占64%的方差。这些是：情绪记忆，记忆的中心地位，身份，连贯性，重温，不自觉的回忆，和感官记忆。可靠性良好（M α = 0.80）。可能患有抑郁症或PTSD的女性报告了更多的情感记忆，记忆的中心性和非自愿回忆。可能患有抑郁症的女性也报告了更多的重温，而那些可能患有创伤后应激障碍的女性报告了更少的连贯性和感觉记忆。研究结果表明，MMARQ是一个连贯的和有效的措施，分娩的记忆的特点，这可能是重要的产后情绪和精神病理学。虽然需要进一步测试其可靠性和有效性，但它是一种能够成为在分娩的重要背景下检查记忆特征的宝贵工具的措施。
Childbirth is a challenging and emotive experience that is accompanied by strong positive and/or negative emotions. Memories of birth may be associated with how women cognitively process birth events postpartum and potentially their adaptation to parenthood. Characteristics of memories for birth may also be associated with postnatal psychological wellbeing. This paper reports the development and evaluation of a questionnaire to measure characteristics of memories of childbirth and to examine the relationship between memories for birth and mental health. The Birth Memories and Recall Questionnaire (BirthMARQ) was developed by generating items from literature reviews and general measures of memory characteristics to cover dimensions relevant to childbirth. Fifty nine items were administered to 523 women in the first year after childbirth (M = 23.7 weeks) as part of an online study of childbirth. Validity of the final scale was checked by examining differences between women with and without probable depression and PTSD. Principal components analysis identified 23 items representing six aspects of memory accounting for 64% of the variance. These were: Emotional memory, Centrality of memory to identity, Coherence, Reliving, Involuntary recall, and Sensory memory. Reliability was good (M alpha = .80). Women with probable depression or PTSD reported more emotional memory, centrality of memories and involuntary recall. Women with probable depression also reported more reliving, and those with probable PTSD reported less coherence and sensory memory. The results suggest the BirthMARQ is a coherent and valid measure of the characteristics of memory for childbirth which may be important in postnatal mood and psychopathology. While further testing of its reliability and validity is needed, it is a measure capable of becoming a valuable tool for examining memory characteristics in the important context of childbirth.
