目的：本研究旨在验证爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS;考克斯等人，1987年）的意大利父亲（男性在围产期比那些成年children）的样本，并分析其factorial structure.Methods：四百三十六父亲参加，具体来说，我们使用了两个样本。第一组由334名父亲组成，其中39名是抑郁的新父亲。我们进行了探索性因素分析和受试者操作特征分析。第二个样本由102名父亲组成，其中22名是抑郁的新父亲。我们对第二个样本进行了验证性因素分析。我们使用意大利版的EPDS（Carpiniello et al.，1997; Benvenuti等人，1999）、Beck抑郁量表-II（Ghisi等人，结果：该测试似乎检测的不是抑郁症，而是一种痛苦的状态，包括抑郁症状、焦虑和不快乐。结果表明，两个因素的结构，不同的母亲。结论：EPDS是一种有效、可靠的工具，可用于围产期筛查有围产期窘迫风险和需要心理支持的父亲。(C)2015 Elsevier Inc.

Objective: The aims of the study are to contribute to the validation of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; Cox et al., 1987) on a sample of Italian fathers (both men in the perinatal period than those with grown-up children) and to analyze its factorial structure.Methods: Four hundred thirty-six fathers participated; specifically, we used two samples. The first was composed of 334 fathers, 39 of which were depressed new fathers. We conducted explorative factor analysis and receiver operator characteristic analysis. The second sample was composed of 102 fathers, 22 of which were depressed new fathers. We conducted confirmative factor analysis on this second sample. We administered the Italian version of the EPDS (Carpiniello et al., 1997; Benvenuti et al., 1999), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (Ghisi et al., 2006) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (Fava, 1983).Results: The test seems to detect not depression but a state of distress including depressive symptoms, anxiety and unhappiness. Results showed a two-factor structure, different from that of mothers. The optimal cutoff for Italian fathers is 12/13.Conclusions: The EPDS is a valid and reliable instrument, useful in the perinatal period for screening fathers at risk for perinatal distress and in need of psychological support.
