Aims The aim of this study was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Early Symptom Measurement of Post‐Stroke Depression‐Short Form (ESMPSD‐SF). Background The ESMPSD is a specific measurement tool designed to detect early depressive symptoms in acute stroke patients, but it is too long for use in busy clinical settings. Design A psychometric study was conducted. Methods Five hundred and twenty‐one post‐stroke patients completed two questionnaires, the demographic and the ESMPSD questionnaire, over a period of 10 months, from July 2016–April 2017. The item reduction process was used to reduce the number of items in the ESMPSD questionnaire and consisted of item analysis, exploratory, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results The item reduction process resulted in a 12‐item short version questionnaire with evidence of acceptable construct validity and internal reliability. Four factors explaining high total variance were extracted: “low,” “guilt,” “emotional,” and “wakefulness”. Estimates of all confirmatory model fit indices met the standard criteria. All standardized factor loading estimates of the 12 items met the standard criteria and the variances explained by the items were acceptable. Moreover, internal reliability estimates of the 12‐item questionnaire were acceptable, and the corrected item‐total correlation and item‐subscale correlation also demonstrated evidence of acceptable reliability of the short form questionnaire. Conclusions The ESMPSD‐SF demonstrates evidence of acceptable reliability and validity to screen early depressive symptoms in acute stroke patients in busy clinical settings.

Objectives Breastfeeding is important to infant health and survival in sub-Saharan Africa. To promote breastfeeding effectively, understanding of psychological factors associated with infant feeding choices is required. This study investigated breastfeeding attitudes and health locus of control (HLoC) in a Nigerian community sample. Methods Men and women (N = 400) (71% female; mean age 34.2 years/ range 18–86 years) were recruited through community groups in Nigeria. Self-report survey by questionnaire measured breastfeeding attitudes using the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) and health locus of control using the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLoCs). Results Mean IIFAS scores (mean = 57.7; sd = 7.8) became less favourable with increasing age (p = 0.02). Men had higher IIFAS scores (mean = 58.6; sd = 7.6) than women (mean = 56.6; sd = 8.0) indicating more favourable attitudes toward breastfeeding (p = 0.02). Women scored higher than men on external chance HLoC (ECHLoC) (p = 0.003) and external powerful others HLoC (EPHLoC) (p = 0.02). Increasing age was associated with higher scores on ECHLoC (p < 0.01) and EPHLoC (p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis was significant (p < 0.001) and explained 7.8% of variance in breastfeeding attitude. Lower IIFAS scores, reflecting more negative attitudes to breastfeeding, were associated with higher ECHLoC (p < 0.01) and EPOHLoC (p < 0.05). Higher IIFAS scores, reflecting more positive attitudes to breastfeeding, were associated with greater IHLoC (p < 0.01). Neither age nor gender were associated with IIFAS scores in the final model. Conclusions This implies a need to explore health locus of control when promoting positive attitudes to breastfeeding and supporting families in breastfeeding advocacy.

Psychometric Properties of the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale among a Multiethnic Population during Pregnancy

Abstract: The 15-item IIFAS is a psychometrically sound measurement tool that health care professionals can use to understand the diverse infant feeding attitudes and knowledge among different ethnic groups in order to provide breastfeeding interventions that are culturally sensitive.
