| Research Abstract |
The participants of this study were Japanese mothers who had undergone 4-month check-up after birth at the public health centre in X city, Aichi Prefecture. The mothers filled in the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) questionnaire. We examined factor structure of the PBQ using principal component analysis, however, we were unable to confirm the original 4 factors solution. One factor solution was extracted with omitting 10 items that did not have meaningfully loading onto the single factor. The PBQ score was moderately correlated to the EPDS score. Our findings indicate that the Japanese short version of the PBQ was appropriate for screening during check up for Japanese residential mothers.
