Supplementary Materials to: External Validation PBQ (SMPBQ) Supplementary Material for External Validation and Test-Retest Reliability of Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire

The aim of the present study was to validate the Spanish PBQ against external criteria of bonding disorder, as well as to establish its test-retest reliability. One hundred fifty-six postpartum women consecutively recruited from a perinatal mental health outpatient unit completed the PBQ at 4-6 weeks postpartum. Four weeks later, all mothers completed again the PBQ and were interviewed using the Birmingham Interview for Maternal Mental Health to establish the presence of a bonding disorder. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed an AUC value for the PBQ total score of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.88– 0.98), with the optimal cut-off of 13 for detecting bonding disorders (sensitivity: 92%, specificity: 87%). Optimal cut-off scores for each scale were also obtained. The test-retest reliability coefficients were moderate to good. Our data confirm the validity of PBQ for detecting bonding disorders in Spanish population.
