Abstract (English)  :

Despite substantial interest in the effects of
stress on pregnancy, few instruments are available to measure
pregnancy-specific stressors. Moreover, research has typically focused on the
distressing, negative aspects of pregnancy. This report examines the
reliability and validity of the Pregnancy Experience Scale (PES), a 41- item
scale that measures pregnancy-specific daily hassles and uplifts. The PES was
administered to two cohorts of low risk women at 24, 30, and 36 weeks (n = 52)
or 32 and 38 weeks (n = 137). Women perceived their pregnancies to be
significantly more intensely and frequently uplifting than hassling. Internal
scale reliability was high (a = 0.91 to 0.95). Frequency and intensity scores
for hassles and uplifts were stable over time (r s = 0.56 to 0.83) and
patterns of convergent and discriminant validity emerged between the PES and
existing measures of general affective intensity, daily stressors, depressive
symptoms, and anxiety. These results indicate that (1) failure to measure
pregnancy-specific stress will underestimate the degree to which pregnant
women experience distress and (2) measurement of only the negative aspects of
pregnancy will overestimate distress and fail to portray the degree to which
women are psychologically elevated by their pregnancies. Measurement of
hassles relative to uplifts may provide the most balanced assessment of
pregnancy appraisal.
