Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity and reliability of the newly adapted German version of the Parental Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) in a group of mothers drawn from the general population, with children aged 12-24 weeks. This assessment followed a thorough linguistic validation, which was conducted through a systematic, multi-step translation process.

Methods: 363 women completed the PBQ online 12-24 weeks after delivery. Cronbach's alpha and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were used to assess internal consistency reliability and construct validity.

Results: The original 4-factor model could not be confirmed. The new PBQ provides a single factor solution. Ten items were removed from the original 25-item PBQ to produce the abbreviated German PBQ-15, which showed strong internal consistency. The Cronbach's alpha for this version was 0.86.

Conclusion: While further research is needed to establish diagnostic thresholds and strengthen the construct validity of the shortened version, the German-language 15-item version of the PBQ holds promise as an accessible tool for recognizing bonding issues in a general population of German-speaking women 3-6 months postpartum.

在德语妇女中对新翻译和文化适应性产后结合问卷进行心理计量学评估。

研究背景本研究旨在评估新改编的父母亲子关系问卷（PBQ）德文版的构建效度和信度，评估对象是一群来自普通人群、子女年龄为 12-24 周的母亲。这项评估是在通过系统的、多步骤的翻译过程进行彻底的语言验证之后进行的。方法：363 名妇女在产后 12-24 周在线填写了 PBQ。采用克朗巴赫α和探索性因子分析（EFA）来评估内部一致性可靠性和构建有效性：结果：原始的 4 因子模型无法得到证实。新的 PBQ 提供了单因素解决方案。从原来的 25 个项目的 PBQ 中删除了 10 个项目，从而产生了缩写的德文 PBQ-15，该 PBQ 显示出很强的内部一致性。该版本的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.86：虽然还需要进一步的研究来确定诊断阈值并加强缩写版本的构建有效性，但德语 15 项 PBQ 版本有望成为一种易于使用的工具，用于识别产后 3-6 个月德语妇女的亲子关系问题。
