Abstract

Purpose: Although many women experience obsessive-compulsive symptoms during the perinatal period, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) has not yet been psychometrically evaluated in this population. This study examined the internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and factor structure of the YBOCS among pregnant women.

Methods: 256 Women who were 20 to 24 weeks pregnant completed the clinician-administered YBOCS and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) along with a series of self-report questionnaires including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS) and Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R).

Results: Internal consistency of the YBOCS was excellent, and there were strong inter-scale correlations between the YBOCS Total Score, YBOCS Obsessions and Compulsions Severity Scales. The YBOCS demonstrated good known-groups validity differentiating women with and without OCD. Convergent validity with the OCI-R was demonstrated while relations with divergent validity were more mixed.

Conclusion: The YBOCS possesses strong psychometric properties in pregnant women.

孕妇耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表的心理测量评估。

目的：尽管许多妇女在围产期经历了强迫症症状，但耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表（YBOCS）尚未在这一人群中进行心理测量学评估。本研究检验了孕妇YBOCS的内部一致性、收敛效度和发散效度，以及因子结构。方法：256名怀孕20 ~ 24周的孕妇完成了临床管理的YBOCS和Mini国际神经精神病学访谈（Mini），并完成了包括爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）、围产期焦虑筛查量表（PASS）和强迫症量表（OCI-R）在内的一系列自我报告问卷。结果：YBOCS量表的内部一致性较好，且YBOCS总分、YBOCS强迫和强迫严重程度量表之间存在较强的量表间相关性。YBOCS在区分女性强迫症患者和非强迫症患者方面表现出良好的已知组效度。OCI-R具有收敛效度，而与发散效度的关系则较为复杂。结论：YBOCS在孕妇中具有较强的心理测量特性。

期刊介绍： Archives of Women’s Mental Health is the official journal of the International Association for Women''s Mental Health, Marcé Society and the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG). The exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynecologists is one of the major aims of the journal. Its international scope includes psychodynamics, social and biological aspects of all psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women. The editors especially welcome interdisciplinary studies, focussing on the interface between psychiatry, psychosomatics, obstetrics and gynecology. Archives of Women’s Mental Health publishes rigorously reviewed research papers, short communications, case reports, review articles, invited editorials, historical perspectives, book reviews, letters to the editor, as well as conference abstracts. Only contributions written in English will be accepted. The journal assists clinicians, teachers and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women’s mental health into current and future clinical care and research.
