"Bonding represents an emotional tie that one experiences towards one´s own child. There are several instruments to measure the level and quality of bonding. Among them we chose and translated the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) into Slovak language. The aim of this study was to analyse its psychometric qualities. Our non-clinical sample consisted of women (N= 372) 18 and 44 years (M= 29.74; SD= 5.25) who recently gave birth in Slovakian hospitals. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 until March 2018. Participants filled the Postpartum bonding questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) and some of them other three tools: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale by Cox, Holgen and Sagovsky (1987), Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The distributions of the items of the bonding were mostly skewed and leptokurtic. Internal consistency is high for the overall Lack of Bonding (?= .897) and varies in factors- ?= .820 for Impaired Bonding, ?= .779 for Rejection and Anger, ?= .506 for Anxiety about Care and ?= .321 for Risk of Abuse. In order to prove convergent validity, we correlated overall Lack of Bonding with depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, rs= .251, Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 depression rs=.404; n=79), stress and anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42, stress rs=.392; anxiety rs=.496; n=79) and parental stress (Parental Stress Scale score; rs= .674, n=99). We did not confirm original factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblimine rotation. Then, we used principal component analysis with varimax rotation method to reduce the items. 6 components were extracted. Component 1 was comprised of 15 items that explained 35,6 % of the variance with loadings from .306 to .733. Hence, we proposed new item-structure for the Slovak PBQ. We concluded that the Slovak version of the PBQ proved to have good overall reliability. We found evidences for the convergent validity with parental stress, anxiety, stress, and partly depression, because there were two different results. We also suggest creating a shorter version based on the analysis. Among limits we can see tools used for validity evidence and sample without participants for clinical population. We advise to use the Slovak version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire as a tool to measure bonding in a research context and to use overall summary index (Lack of Bonding) instead of factors."

Background: Postpartum depression has a negative impact on quality of life. The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Methods: A paper and pencil version of the 10-item EPDS questionnaire was administered personally to 577 women at baseline during their stay in hospital on the second to fourth day postpartum (age, 30.6 ± 4.9 years; 73.5% vaginal births vs. 26.5% operative births; 59.4% primiparas). A total of 198 women participated in the online follow-up 6–8 weeks postpartum (questionnaire sent via e-mail). Results: The Slovak version of the EPDS had Cronbach’s coefficients of 0.84 and 0.88 at baseline (T1) and follow-up, respectively. The three-dimensional model of the scale offered good fit for both the baseline (χ2(df = 28) = 1339.38, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.02, and TLI = 0.99) and follow-up (χ2(df = 45) = 908.06, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.09, and TL = 0.90). A risk of major depression (EPDS score ≥ 13) was identified in 6.1% in T1 and 11.6% in the follow-up. Elevated levels of depression symptoms (EPDS score ≥ 10) were identified in 16.7% and 22.7% of the respondents at baseline and follow-up, respectively. Conclusions: The Slovak translation of the EPDS showed good consistency, convergent validity, and model characteristics. The routine use of EPDS can contribute to improving the quality of postnatal health care.

Aim: This study aimed to test initial validity, reliability, and feasibility of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale in a sample of Swedish mothers. Methods: A translation was performed through 11 steps using a forward–backward bilingual technique. For criterion validity, the Swedish translation of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (S-MIBS) was compared with the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire, sub-scale 1 (PBQ1) and 2 (PBQ2) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in a sample of 63 Swedish mothers. Internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach’s alpha. For feasibility testing, the mothers were asked to grade their experience of S-MIBS and PBQ on a four-point scale. Results: The results show a correlation between S-MIBS and PBQ1 ( r=0.80, p<0.001), PBQ2 ( r=0.69, p<0.001) and EPDS ( r=0.44, p<0.001). Internal consistency was α=0.68. Most mothers (93.1%) found S-MIBS to be easy or very easy to complete compared with PBQ (88.7%). Conclusions: The initial testing of the Swedish translation of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale shows usability to measure the mother’s emotions towards her healthy full-term infant.

Zusammenfassung Ziele Übergewicht und Adipositas in der Schwangerschaft sowie Figur- und Gewichtssorgen sind mit erhöhter physischer und psychischer Belastung assoziiert. Bisher ist allerdings wenig über die Entwicklung von Figur- und Gewichtssorgen bei schwangeren Frauen mit Übergewicht und Adipositas sowie Zusammenhänge mit der psychischen Gesundheit bekannt. Methodik Die Studienteilnehmerinnen (N = 218) füllten validierte Fragebögen zu Figur- und Gewichtssorgen (Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire), Depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) und Stress (Perceived Stress Scale) in der 18.–22. Schwangerschaftswoche (SSW) (T1), der 28.–32. SSW (T2) und 12 bis 16 Wochen nach der Geburt (T3) aus. Der Einfluss von Body Mass Index (BMI) auf Figur- und Gewichtssorgen wurde mittels ANCOVAs mit Messwiederholungen untersucht. Korrelationen und multiple Regressionsmodelle wurden angewandt, um Zusammenhänge zwischen Figur- und Gewichtssorgen und der Depressions- und Stresssymptomatik zu explorieren. Ergebnisse Frauen mit Übergewicht berichteten zwischen der 28.–32. SSW und der 12.–16. Woche nach der Geburt eine stärkere Zunahme von Figur- und Gewichtssorgen als normalgewichtige Frauen. In adjustieren Analysen sagten Figur- und Gewichtssorgen zu T1 über alle BMI-Kategorien hinweg Depressions- und Stresssymptome zu T3 vorher. Schlussfolgerungen Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zeigen, dass vor allem die Zeit nach der Entbindung eine Risikoperiode für die Entwicklung von Figur- und Gewichtssorgen bei Frauen mit erhöhtem BMI ist. Köperbildspezifische Interventionen vor und nach der Geburt könnten dazu beitragen, die psychische Belastung von Frauen mit Übergewicht und Adipositas zu verringern.

Abstrak Perubahan peran seorang wanita menjadi seorang ibu tidaklah selalu berupa hal yang menyenangkan saja bagi pasangan suami istri, kadang kala terjadi terjadi konflik baik didalam diri wanita tersebut maupun konflik dengan suami. Jika perhatian terhadap keadaan psikologis ibu post partum kurang maka dapat menyebabkan ibu akan cenderung untuk mencoba mengatasi permasalahannya atau ketidaknyamanannya tersebut sendiri, keadaan ini jika dibiarkan saja dapat menyebabkan ibu post partum mengalami postpartum blues. Di Indonesia, diperkirakan terdapat 50-70% ibu pasca melahirkan mengalami postpartum blues pada hari 4-10. Penelitian ini menggunakan survey analitik dengan desain penelitian cross sectional, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 160 orang. Data diambil menggunakan kuesioner yang ditampilkan dalam analisa univariat dan bivariat menggunakan sistem komputerisasi SPSS. Hasil penelitian yaitu ada hubungan antara pendidikan ibu (p 0,013), pekerjaan ibu (p 0,013), dukungan suami (p 0,021), pendapatan keluarga dengan kejadian post partum blues (p 0,000) dan tidak ada hubungan antara paritas ibu (p 0,199), umur ibu (p 0,391), dan riwayat PMS (p 0,087) dengan kejadian post partum blues. Diharapkan bagi peneliti untuk dapat melanjutkan penelitian dengan variabel yang lebih bergam dan diharapkan bagi para tenaga kesehatan agar dapat meningkatkan pelayanan terutama dalam pemberian dukungan pada ibu masa post partum, sehingga mengurangi resiko ibu mengalami postpartum blues. Kata kunci : Postpartum blues, pendidikan, pekerjaan, dukungan suami, riwayat PMS

Background: The postpartum period is a time of tremendous emotional and physical change for most women as they adapt to new roles and alteration in their physiology. Postpartum depression has seen its rise lately. Multiple factors might be responsible for causation. Symptoms include depression, tearfulness, emotional liability, guilt, anorexia, sleep disorders, feeling inadequate, detachment from the baby, poor concentration, forgetfulness, fatigue, and irritability.Methods: We have conducted a study in 225 postpartum females and assessed them for depression and associated postnatal depression. The 10-question Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used for assessing depression.Results: Depression was evaluated as 6%. It was also found that 2% mothers with IUD babies developed postnatal depression. 1.33% cases with babies having congenital anomaly developed postnatal depression. 1.33% cases with babies having nursery admission developed postnatal depression.  This has been correlated with many other studies.Conclusions: It is found that perinatal factors do affect postnatal depression as it is found in mothers who have an adverse perinatal outcome. Further research is implicated in this field.

OBJETIVO: Verificar o impacto da percepção de baixo suporte social durante a gestação como fator de risco para a depressão no período de 30 a 60 dias pós-parto. MÉTODO: Este estudo de coorte teve como população-alvo gestantes atendidas no Sistema Único de Saúde na cidade de Pelotas (RS). Para avaliar depressão pós-parto, foi utilizada a Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Foram consideradas deprimidas as parturientes que atingiram ≥ 13 pontos na escala. RESULTADOS: Das 1.019 mulheres avaliadas, 168 (16,5%) apresentaram depressão pós-parto. Aquelas que não receberam suporte do companheiro (p = 0,000), de familiares (p = 0,000) e de amigos (p = 0,000) demonstraram maior risco de ter depressão pós-parto. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos achados sugerem que a percepção de suporte social durante a gravidez pode ser um fator protetor para a depressão pós-parto.
