A Protocol for the Development and Validation of the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale—Preterm Birth [PSAS‐PTB] and the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale—Neonatal Intensive Care Unit [PSAS‐NICU]
This is the first study to describe the process of developing and the subsequent proposed validation of postpartum-specific tools for use with mothers of preterm infants and those with infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Clear avenues have been identified for the validation and implementation of both measures.
