Chinese version of Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale and its reliability and validity test / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To translate the Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TPDS) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of TPDS was formed by adopting forward and back translation, cross-cultural semantic equivalence assessment and pilot testing. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 309 pregnant women who were examined in the obstetrical clinic of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology from September 2019 to January 2020 by convenience sampling method to test the reliability and validity of questionnaire.Results:The content validity of each item ranged from 0.83 to 1.00, while the total table was 0.91. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-factor model fitted well, χ 2/df was 1.380, goodness of fit index was 0.955, normal of fit index was 0.941, Tucker-Lewis index was 0.977, comparative fit index was 0.983, root mean square error of approximation was 0.035. The Cronbach α coefficient of the total scale was 0.834, and the test-retest reliability was 0.826. Conclusions:The Chinese version of TPDS has good reliability and validity, and can be used to measure the level of pregnancy distress in Chinese pregnant women.
