Validation of the Dutch Core Self-evaluations Scale Validation of the Dutch Core Self-evaluations Scale I.E. de Pater, S. Schinkel & B.A. Nijstad, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, maart 2007, nr. 1, pp. 82-100 In this article we investigated the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the Core Self-evaluations scale (CSES, Judge, Erez, Bono & Thoresen, 2003). Research into the English version has shown that CSE is a valid construct, consistently correlating with important work related criteria such as work satisfaction and work performance. Because of the relevance of these findings, we developed a Dutch version of this scale (NCSES). Results from four different studies (total N = 1389) showed that the NCSES is internally consistent, has a high test-retest reliability and has the predicted factor structure. Additionally, the convergent and divergent validity of the NCSES are high, and the NCSES correlates with important work outcomes, such job characteristics, job performance, and affective outcomes. It can be concluded that the NCSES is a valuable and effective instrument for applied psychological research.

Data on the adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Dutch version of the Nottingham Health Profile are discussed. The linguistic adaptation of the English version into Dutch is described, followed by the field-testing procedure and the analyses of data from 276 selected subjects from an average general medical group practice in a village nearby Rotterdam. The internal consistency, Cronbach alphas, of the subscales varied from .70 to .85. Test-retest measures for 51 patients with cardiac problems gave Spearman correlations from .69 to .92, while the interscale relationships yielded six relatively independent areas of discomfort and stress. By means of logistic regression analysis on differences between old versus young, male versus female, and healthy versus ill individuals, discriminant validity was satisfactory. Findings suggest that the psychometric aspects of the Dutch version, also seen from a cross-cultural point of view, are sufficient. Nevertheless, further research on reliability and validity of the Dutch version is required to establish its usefulness with different patient groups.

Abstract.Some psychological variables of women seem to be in close relationship with the clinical course of pregnancy and delivery outcome. However, about risk factors for preterm birth, it is necessary to deepen the knowledge of the psychological risk area to enable more effective prevention. Aim: To relate the result of delivery, with regard to gestational age, mode of delivery and infant characteristics with psychological variables assessed during pregnancy, prenatal maternal attachment, psychopathological symptomatology and coping. Methodology: A prospective, descriptive correlational study; participants were 395 women at the second trimester of pregnancy and at postpartum, who attended antenatal clinics at the center of Portugal. The following instruments were used: Clinical Questionnaire about the Result of Delivery; Sociodemographic and Clinical Questionnaire in Pregnancy; Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale; Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI); Problems’ Resolution Inventory (PRI). Results: Gestational age and birth weight of the baby, on one side, and variables of prenatal attachment, BSI and PRI, on the other side, did not correlate significantly. The quality of prenatal maternal attachment was higher in women who came to have a delivery by forceps or vacuum extraction, compared with those that had caesarean birth (p = .05). The majority of women had a healthy pregnancy (75.7%). Coping strategies like Interpersonal Sensitivity and Help-seeking seem to influence the occurrence of obstetrical pathology. Women with higher scores on Total Prenatal Attachment and Intensity of Preocupation are more likely to have newborns with health problems. There is an association between clinical variables, the newborn´s health at birth and obstetric pathology of the II and III trimesters. Conclusion: Prenatal psychological factors such as prenatal attachment do not seem to influence the obstetric condition or the result of delivery but appear to play an important role about how pregnant women experience pregnancy and labor.Keywords: Prenatal psychological factors; evolution during pregnancy, delivery outcome.Resumo.Algumas variáveis psicológicas da mulher parecem estar em estreita relação com a evolução clínica da gravidez e o resultado do parto. No entanto, acerca dos fatores de risco para o parto prétermo, é necessário aprofundar conhecimentos na área do risco psicológico que permitam uma prevenção mais eficaz. Objetivos: relacionar o resultado do parto, no que se refere à idade gestacional, tipo de parto e características do bebé, com as variáveis psicológicas avaliadas durante a gravidez, vinculação materna pré-natal, sintomatologia psicopatológica e coping. Metodologia: estudo prospetivo, descritivo-correlacional; amostra constituída por 395 mulheres no segundo trimestre de gravidez e no pós-parto que frequentaram consultas pré-natais na zona centro do país. Instrumentos de pesquisa: Questionário Clínico relativo ao Resultado do Parto; Questionário Sociodemográfico e Clínico na Gravidez; Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale; Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI); Inventário de Resolução de Problemas (IRP). Resultados: a idade gestacional e o peso do bebé ao nascer, por um lado, e as variáveis da vinculação pré-natal, BSI e IRP, por outro lado, não se correlacionam significativamente. A qualidade da vinculação pré-natal materna era mais elevada nas mulheres que vieram a ter um parto por fórceps ou ventosa, em comparação com as que fizeram cesariana (p = .05). A maior parte das mulheres teve uma gravidez saudável (75.7%). A diferença entre estas e as que sofreram alguma patologia obstétrica situa-se na Sensibilidade Interpessoal e Pedido de Ajuda, favoráveis às primeiras. Mulheres com pontuações mais elevadas na Vinculação Materna Total e Intensidade da Preocupação têm mais probabilidade de ter bebés com problemas de saúde. Existe uma associação entre as variáveis clínicas, a saúde do bebé no momento do nascimento e a patologia obstétrica do II e do III trimestre. Conclusão: Fatores psicológicos pré-natais como a vinculação pré-natal não parecem exercer influência na patologia obstétrica nem no resultado do parto mas parecem desempenhar um papel importante na forma como a grávida vive a gestação e o trabalho de parto.Palavras-chave: Fatores psicológicos pré-natais; evolução da gravidez; resultado do parto.
