Abstract

Childbirth is a life-changing event. If the mothers are not able to adapt, major problems will arise and can lead to depression. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was the most popular screening tools for detect the main symptom of depression in postpartum period. Developed by Cox, Holden & Sagovsky (1987), now the EPDS has been translated into several languages such as France, Hebrew, Swedish, Bangla, Chinese, including Indonesian. However, no one has published a comprehensive psychometric evaluation of the Indonesian version of EPDS. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the EPDS. A two-stage design was used in this study. Stage I consisted of a process of translation and back-translation by language experts and compare it with the original version. Stage II established the psychometric properties of the EPDS by examining the validity and reliability of the scale using content validity index suggested by Lynn (1986) and internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Stage III examine the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to explore the best model of postpartum depression measurement. The result shows that EPDS is a good tool to measure postpartum depression in Indonesia
