Validation of the Polish PPQ-II: sociodemographic and clinical correlates of perinatal PTSD.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Perinatal PTSD (CB-PTSD) is a significant psychological condition that may affect mothers after childbirth, with long-term consequences for mental health. Despite growing global interest, limited research has addressed its prevalence and risk factors in Poland. This study aimed to validate the Polish version of the Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire (PPQ-II) and to explore sociodemographic and clinical correlates of CB-PTSD among Polish mothers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2024 with a sample size 273 Polish mothers using the Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) method. The PPQ-II was adapted through translation, back-translation, and expert review. Psychometric evaluation included internal consistency, construct validity, and convergent validity with the PTSD-8 and DASS-21. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assessed the factor structure. Data analysis employed IBM SPSS 29.0 and Jamovi 2.4, with non-parametric tests examining associations with sociodemographic and clinical variables. Results: EFA revealed two main domains: Avoidance/Intrusion and Arousal explaining 62% of total variance. The PPQ-II showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.90) and convergent validity. Results of Polish version of the PPQ-II were observed to be positively correlated with PTSD-8 ( Conclusion: The Polish adaptation of the PPQ-II demonstrates strong reliability and validity for assessing perinatal PTSD. Maternal sociodemographic and clinical factors-particularly delivery method, neonatal complications, and socioeconomic conditions-substantially influence CB-PTSD severity. These findings emphasize the need for psychosocial assessment in perinatal care and targeted support for high-risk groups to mitigate adverse psychological outcomes.
