父母的反思功能(PRF)是一种关注自己和孩子的经历和感受的能力。据报道，PRF中的个体差异影响儿童依恋和社会情感发展。在这项研究中，我们报告了一份评估妊娠期生殖功能障碍的问卷(产前父母反射功能问卷；P-PRFQ)的研制工作。使用芬兰脑出生队列研究(n=124名母亲，n=82名父亲)的先导研究数据，对P-PRFQ 33个条目版本的因素结构进行了探索。结构效度是根据怀孕访谈(PI；A.Slade，L.Grunebaum，L.Huganir，&M.Reeves，1987,2002,2011)在同一试点样本中的29名母亲的子样本中进行评估的。探索性和验证性因素分析得出了14个项目的P-PRFQ，其中有三个因素似乎捕捉到了产前父母心理化的相关方面-F1：“心理状态的不透明”，F2：“反映胎儿-孩子”，F3：“心理状态的动态性质”。在有600名母亲和600名父亲的大型队列中，进一步测试了因素结构的功能。无论是P-PRFQ的总分还是各因子分，与PI结果的相关性都很高。无论是出于研究还是临床目的，都需要成本效益高的工具来评估早期育儿的关键领域。由14个项目组成的P-PRFQ似乎是一种适用且前景看好的新工具，可用于评估早期父母的意向能力。
Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is the capacity to focus on experience and feelings in oneself and in the child. Individual differences in PRF reportedly affect child attachment and socioemotional development. In this study, we report work on developing a questionnaire to assess PRF during pregnancy (Prenatal Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire; P-PRFQ). The factor structure of the 33-item version of the P-PRFQ was explored using pilot study data from the Finn Brain Birth Cohort Study (n = 124 mothers, n = 82 fathers). Construct validity was assessed against the Pregnancy Interview (PI; A. Slade, L. Grunebaum, L. Huganir, & M. Reeves, 1987, 2002, 2011) in a subsample of 29 mothers from the same pilot sample. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a 14-item P-PRFQ, with three factors which seem to capture relevant aspects of prenatal parental mentalization-F1: "Opacity of mental states," F2: "Reflecting on the fetus-child," and F3: "The dynamic nature of the mental states." Functioning of the factor structure was further tested in the large cohort with 600 mothers and 600 fathers. Correlations with the PI result were high, both regarding total and factor scores of the P-PRFQ. Cost-effective tools to assess key areas of early parenting are needed for both research and clinical purposes. The 14-item P-PRFQ seems to be an applicable and promising new tool for assessing very early parental mentalizing capacity.
