Abstract

Background

Maternal parenting self-efficacy plays a critical role in facilitating positive parenting practices and successful adaption to motherhood. The Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale (PMPS-E), as a task-specific measure, confirms its psychometric properties in cultural contexts. Compared with other tools, the advantages of the PMPS-E are as follows: (i) specific context or time period during the lifespan of a child, (ii) explicitly assess parenting self-efficacy across a diverse enough range of parenting tasks or activities during the perinatal/postnatal period and (iii) having robust psychometric properties. The aim of this study was to translate and determine the psychometric properties of the PMPS-E among Chinese postpartum women (C-PMPS-E).

Method

The cross-cultural adaptation process followed Beaton et al.'s intercultural debugging guidelines. A total of 471 women were included to establish the psychometric properties of the C-PMPS-E. Mothers were asked to complete the C-PMPS-E, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and several demographic questions. The psychometric testing of the C-PMPS-E was established through item analysis, construct validity and internal consistency reliability.

Results

Item analysis showed that the critical ratios of all items were greater than 3 between the low-score group and high-score group, and all item–total correlation coefficients were greater than 0.4. The fit indices showed that the original correlated four-factor model of C-PMPS-E was observed to be an excellent fit to the data. The PMPS-E was negatively correlated with the EPDS and GAD-7 demonstrating its discriminant validity. As expected, no significant correlation was found between PMPS-E total or subscale scores and mothers' age. In addition, statistically significant differences for parity were detected for C-PMPS-E total and subscale scores with multipara having higher scores. This was taken as further evidence of the scale known-groups discriminant validity. In terms of internal consistency, the Cronbach's alpha of the C-PMPS-E total scale was 0.950, and subscales ranged from 0.76 to 0.89. Furthermore, a ROC curve analysis was conducted to establish the ability of the C-PMPS-E to distinguish between symptoms of depression and symptoms of anxiety. A cut-off value of 55 was identified that resulted in good specificity and fair sensitivity.

Conclusion

The C-PMPS-E is a reliable and valid tool to assess maternal parenting self-efficacy in a Chinese context.

对中文版产后妇女 "感知母亲养育子女自我效能感量表 "进行心理测试

背景母亲养育子女的自我效能感在促进积极的养育实践和成功适应母亲角色方面发挥着至关重要的作用。感知母性养育自我效能感量表（PMPS-E）作为一项针对特定任务的测量工具，证实了其在文化背景下的心理测量特性。与其他工具相比，PMPS-E 的优势如下：(i) 针对儿童生命周期中的特定环境或时间段，(ii) 明确评估围产期/产后期间各种育儿任务或活动中的育儿自我效能感，(iii) 具有稳健的心理测量特性。本研究旨在翻译并确定中国产后妇女养育自我效能感问卷（C-PMPS-E）的心理测量学特性。方法跨文化适应过程遵循 Beaton 等人的跨文化调试指南。共纳入了471名妇女，以确定C-PMPS-E的心理测量特性。母亲们被要求完成 C-PMPS-E、爱丁堡产后抑郁量表 (EPDS)、广泛性焦虑症-7 (GAD-7) 和几个人口统计学问题。通过项目分析、结构效度和内部一致性信度对 C-PMPS-E 进行了心理测试。结果项目分析显示，所有项目在低分组和高分组之间的临界比率均大于 3，所有项目-总相关系数均大于 0.4。拟合指数显示，C-PMPS-E 的原始相关四因素模型与数据的拟合效果非常好。PMPS-E 与 EPDS 和 GAD-7 呈负相关，这证明了它的区分有效性。正如预期的那样，PMPS-E 的总分或分量表得分与母亲的年龄之间没有发现明显的相关性。此外，C-PMPS-E 的总分和分量表得分在统计学上发现了明显的奇偶性差异，多胎妊娠的母亲得分更高。这进一步证明了量表的已知组别区分有效性。在内部一致性方面，C-PMPS-E 总量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.950，分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.76 至 0.89。此外，还进行了 ROC 曲线分析，以确定 C-PMPS-E 区分抑郁症状和焦虑症状的能力。结果发现，55 的临界值具有良好的特异性和一般的敏感性。结论 C-PMPS-E 是在中国环境下评估母亲养育子女自我效能感的可靠而有效的工具。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
