Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the underlying structure of the EPDS by comparing four models of confirmatory factor analysis, using the maximum likelihood method, in a sample of 111 women from the Chubut province (Argentina). The results confirmed that the best fitting model was the three factors one: depression, anxiety and anhedonia (ꭓ2=37.389, p=.235; RMSEA=0.039, 90% CI=0 – 0.08; IFC=0.978 and NNFI=0.969). The scale showed an acceptable internal consistency value: Cronbach’s α=.75. None of the registered sociodemographic variables was associated with postnatal depression, except for the work status. Working women scored significantly higher (M=8.47; SD=4.33) on the scale than those unemployed (M=6.30. SD=3.31). The results support the idea of the multidimensional nature of the EPDS.
