Adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the postpartum partner support scale among Arab women in the United Arab Emirates

Its integration into routine postpartum care, particularly within midwifery and broader maternity care practice, may facilitate early identification of psychosocial risks and inform targeted interventions to improve maternal mental health outcomes in Arabic-speaking populations.
