IntroductionPregnancy is characterized by important changes in sleep and some of them (as insomnia) predict negative outcomes, like depression, through all the perinatal period. There are few Portuguese adapted and validated instruments assessing insomnia in pregnancy.ObjectiveTo validate the Insomnia Assessment Scale in a sample of Portuguese pregnant women.Methods419 pregnant women (mean age: 32.51 ± 4.759; weeks of gestation: 17.32 ± 4.803) answered the Insomnia Assessment Scale (IAS), constructed according to the DSM-V and the ICSD-3 criteria and presenting fourteen items: three evaluating insomnia symptoms (1 to 3); one assessing if sleep difficulties were present although there were adequate conditions to sleep (item 4); one assessing if sleep difficulties occurred three times/week (item 5); one evaluating if sleep was not restorative (item 6); three assessing daily impairment associated to insomnia symptoms (7 to 9); two assessing the use of prescribed and/or homemade medication (10 and 11); three excluding that sleep difficulties were not due to another sleep disorder, substance use, a physical condition or a mental disorder) (12 to 14).ResultsThe IAS Kuder-Richardson alpha was very good (α=0.85) and none of the items increased the alpha if removed. A principal component analysis revealed a three factors solution, explaining a variance/EV of 63,74%: F1/Insomnia symptoms (items 1 to 6) (EV 36.02%; α=0.81); F2/Daily impairment associated to insomnia symptoms (items 7 to 9) (EV 18.67%; α=0.79); F3/Differential diagnosis (items 12 to 14) (EV 8.38%; α=0.81).ConclusionsThe IAS adapted for Portuguese pregnant women presented good reliability and validity.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Mindful Eating Questionnaire is a reliable tool for the assessment of mindful eating behavior among the general population. This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of The Malay Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ-M) in a sample of overweight and obese adults. This is a cross-sectional survey which involved 144 overweight and obese adults in a selected public university. After linguistic validation of the Malay version of the MEQ, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation was performed on the scale constructs. The psychometric properties of the MEQ were assessed through Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis. The EFA of the MEQ produced a seven-dimensional model (58.8% of overall variances). The concurrent validity analysis between total MEQ scores and total Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) scores indicated a weak non-significant correlation (p = 0.679). The internal consistency reliability of the MEQ was reasonable (Cronbach’s α = 0.64). The agreement stability of the MEQ over eight weeks was poor (ICC = 0.10). In conclusion, the psychometric properties of the Malay-translated MEQ are acceptable through construct validity and internal consistency reliability tests. This instrument may be used for assessing mindful eating habits in the Malaysian population, especially among overweight and obese adults.

Background and Purpose: Develop and assess psychometric properties of the Wang Pregnancy Stress Scale for measuring stress among pregnant women in Taiwan. Methods: Data were collected in 3 obstetric and gynecological clinics in Taiwan; 485 pregnant women participated in this study. We used exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha. Results: A 4-factor structure emerged for the Wang Pregnancy Stress Scale. The internal reliability of the scale as measured by Cronbach’s alpha was .898, with standardized alpha .905. Conclusions: The Wang Pregnancy Stress Scale has high reliability and validity in measuring pregnancy stress that would allow nurses or health care workers to measure women’s stress levels during pregnancy. Nurses can use the assessed pregnancy stress to alter intervention of care for their pregnant clients.

Background: Evaluation of physical activity by condition-specific surveys provides more accurate results than generic physical activity questionnaires. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (KPAS) in Turkish pregnant women. Methods: In the translation and cultural adaptation of the KPAS, the 6-phase guidelines recommended in the literature were followed. The study included a total of 151 pregnant women who were assessed using the Turkish version of KPAS, the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the SenseWear Pro3 Armband. To determine the test–retest reliability, the KPAS was reapplied after 7 days. The psychometric properties of KPAS were analyzed with respect to internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and concurrent validity. Results: Cronbach α coefficient indicating the internal consistency of the Turkish KPAS was found to be .60 to .80, showing moderate reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficient for test–retest reliability was very strong (intraclass correlation coefficient: .96–.98). The total KPAS scores were found to be moderately correlated with the total Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire score and the total energy expenditure value on the SenseWear Pro3 Armband. Conclusions: This study showed that KPAS is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating physical activity in Turkish pregnant women in different aspects.
