ABSTRACT
Objective. To determine the internal consistency and
factor structure of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression
Scale version of the Clinic of Women Specialties CEM
(EPDE-CWE) in a sample of pregnant a puerperal Mexican
Women.
Method. A transversal screening study of the EPDECWE
without gold standard was done in a simple of pregnant
and puerperal women in a gynecoobsterict clinic. After
semantic adaptation, statistics included a general
description of the sample, the determination of internal
consistency with Cronbach Alpha coefficient as well as the
performance of factor analysis.
Results. EPDE-CWE was applied to 113 women (58
pregnant, and 55 puerperal). Semantic adaptation showed
minimal differences with a concordant index of 80%. Internal
consistency was 0.86 for the global scale (0.88 para
postpartum depression and 0.84 for pregnancy depression).
Factor analysis was conformed by Factor 1)
Depression with 36.4% of variance; Factor 2) Anxiety
with 14.2% of variance, and factor 3) Suicidal ideation with
11.7% of variance. The scale was well accepted by the
evaluated clinical population.
Conclusions: The EPDE-CWE is a semantically adapted
instrument with a high internal consistency and a factorial
structure of three dimensions; depression, anxiety and
suicidal ideation, due to that it could be considered of clinical
utility to detect pregnancy and postnatal depression in
Mexican women..
