Development and psychometric evaluation of a postpartum stress scale in early postpartum mothers.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The early postpartum period is a crucial phase in a mother's adaptation to caregiving demands, physical recovery, and social pressures. In Indonesia, postpartum stress is further shaped by cultural norms, extended family involvement, and societal expectations. Despite the importance of these factors, measurement tools specifically tailored for the early postpartum phase in the local cultural context are limited. This study aims to develop a Postpartum Stress Scale to assess stress levels in early postpartum mothers, ensuring its construct validity and reliability. The research was conducted in two stages: the first stage utilized qualitative Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with experts to establish construct and content validity, while the second stage employed Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis on data collected from 223 early postpartum mothers. The results indicated a robust four-factor structure with strong content validity and satisfactory psychometric properties, including high construct reliability and good model fit. The developed scale offers a reliable, multidimensional tool for assessing postpartum stress and holds promise for use in clinical practice and maternal mental health research.
