| Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the translated Chinese version of Maternity Social Support Scale (MSSS).Methods MSSS assessment was performed with 515 pregnant women first, after one month, current study randomly selected 120 pregnant women from previous sample for follow up tests. Another 100 women were randomly selected from the remaining 395 women and also completed assessment of positive coping factors in Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Simple Coping Style Scale (SCSQ). The correlation analysis was conducted between MSSS score and SSRS, EPDS and SCSQ scores.Results ① The correlation coefficient between each item of MSSS and the total score were 0.50~0.73, and the correlation coefficient between each two items were 0.10~0.53. The Cronbach’s α of the scale was 0.75, and the retest reliability after one month was 0.71. ② The score of MSSS was positively correlated with SSRS (r=0.42, P< 0.01) and positive coping factor score in SCSQ (r=0.33, P< 0.01) , however it was negatively correlated with EPDS score (r=-0.43, P<0.01). ③ Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the data fit well, RMSEA=0.09, TLI=0.89, GFI=0.964, AGFI=0.906, IFI=0.933.Conclusion The Chinese version of MSSS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the social support of pregnant women easily and quickly. |
