“…The Italian version of NuPCI showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's coefficient alpha) for Planning- Preparation and Spiritual-Positive Coping scales and an acceptable level for Avoidance scale. These results, obtained both for the total sample and for the single trimesters, are in line with those reported for the North-American version of NuPCI [11] and with the outcomes of different validation studies conducted worldwide (i.e., for NuPCI Spanish and Persian versions) [12,14]. The exploratory factor analyses conducted for each scale on the corresponding items showed that the scales were one-dimensional, although with poor results for three items (i.e., one for each scale).…”

“…However, the Prenatal Coping Inventory (PCI), developed by Yali and Lobel [10], and its revised version, the NuPCI [11], are the specific measures for pregnancy to be preferred. In particular, the good internal consistency of NuPCI has been confirmed in several studies in USA and elsewhere in high and low risk pregnant women [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background: Pregnancy is a period of happiness but also of physical and psychological changes that can lead to distress. Functional coping strategies can reduce the pregnancy specific-stress. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Revised Prenatal Coping Inventory (NuPCI) in an Italian sample and to investigate how coping strategies were associated with pregnancy-specific stress. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, low-risk pregnant women (N = 211) were assessed with NuPCI, NuPDQ (Revised-Prenatal Distress Questionnaire), Brief-COPE (Coping Orientation to the Problems Experienced), and STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory). The reliability of NuPCI was evaluated by assessing its internal consistency and factor structure (with a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, CFA). The concurrent validity between NuPCI and Brief-COPE and NuPDQ and STAI was investigated. Lastly, the relationship between NuPCI and NuPDQ was analyzed, as well as the ability of these scales to predict Apgar score at birth. Results: Internal consistency of NuPCI scales was good for Planning-Preparation (ɑ C =0.84) and Spiritual-Positive Coping (ɑ C =0.81) scales, acceptable for Avoidance (ɑ C =0.76) scale. Moreover, the original three-factor structure was confirmed using a CFA with 29 of the 32 items (χ 2 374 = 618.06; RMSEA = 0.056, 95% confidence interval: [0.048, 0.063]); CFI = 0.920; and TLI = 0.913). Statistically significant correlations between NuPCI scales and Brief-COPE subscales ranged between r = + 0.217 and r = + 0.624; also, NuPDQ score was positively correlated with STAI scales (State scale: r = + 0.539; Trait scale: r = + 0.462). Concurrent validity was confirmed reporting that NuPDQ score was predicted by NuPCI scores (R 2 = 0.423, p < 0.001), positively by Avoidance (β=+0.572) and Planning-Preparation (β=+0.215) and negatively by Spiritual-Positive Coping (β=-0.132). Finally, considering the stress, the effect of the Avoidance and Spiritual-Positive Coping scores respectively in decreasing (+ 155%) and increasing (+ 16%) the Apgar score became stronger. Conclusions: Italian NuPCI has sound psychometric properties and it is a useful coping measure. NuPDQ showed also a good validity. Our results may suggest a significant role for coping strategies, particularly in modulating the condition of the newborn at birth.

“…Nevertheless, this was partially overcome by the homogeneity observed in the three trimesters. Another limitation is the relatively low sample size, even though it is in line with other validation studies [12,14,47]. Moreover, we performed only a forward-and back-translation for our Italian version, instead of following speci c recommendations for cross-cultural adaptation (e.g., Beaton's recommendation [48]).…”
