IntroductionThe postpartum depression screening scale (PDSS; Beck & Gable, 2002) is a widely used measure to assess women's depressive symptoms after their children's birth. Pereira et al. adapted, validated and developed a short-version of PDSS for Portuguese women (PDSS-21).ObjectiveTo examine the factor structure of the PDSS–21, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a sample of Portuguese women in the postpartum period.MethodsThe sample was composed of 208 women (mean age = 32.72; SD = 4.49) who completed the PDSS–21 approximately at the 6th week postpartum. CFA was used to test the model suggested by prior exploratory factor analyses of PDSS–21. AMOS software was used.ResultsAfter two items were deleted and some errors were correlated, CFA indicated a good fit for the second-order factor (χ2/df = 1.793; CFI = 0.957; GFI = 0.889, rmsea = 0.062; P [rmsea ≤ 0.05] < 0.056). The 19–item PDSS showed excellent internal consistency (α = 0.92) and the four dimensions presented Cronbach's alphas ranging between good (α = 0.83) and excellent (α = 0.93).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the 19–item PDSS obtained through CFA is a reliable and valid measure to assess depressive symptoms among women in the postpartum period.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Multiple Step

The purpose of this study was to ensure the semantic equivalence of the Hungarian version of the Postpartum Depression Screening Scale (PDSS) (Beck & Gable, 2002). a multiple-step process was used to translate the scale. first, the PDSS was translated into Hungarian. Secondly, this version was blindly back translated to English. Third, a panel of three Hungarian-American mothers met with one researcher and reviewed the items. Finally, a linguist read the scale for syntax and grammar. A convenience sample of Hungarian-American mothers (n = 30) participated in the study. Correlation between the English and Hungarian scales was high (r = .97, p <.01).
