Reliability and validity of the original and brief German version of the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS): Longitudinal study findings
According to the present results, the brief German version of the MAAS represents a reliable and valid measurement instrument of MFA for use in clinical practice. Further studies examining possible cut-off values are needed to identify pregnant women with significant attachment difficulties who may benefit from additional support.
