Descrição
Background: The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS, Brazelton & Nugent,
1995) is an instrument conceived to observe the neonatal neurobehavior. Data analysis
is usually performed by organizing items into groups. The most widely used data
reduction for the NBAS was developed by Lester, Als, and Brazelton (1982).
Objective: Examine the psychometric properties of the NBAS items in a sample of 213
Portuguese infants.
Method: The NBAS was performed in the first week of infant life (3 days±2) and in the
seventh week of life (52 days±5).
Results: Principal component analyses yielded a solution of four components
explaining 55.13% of total variance. Construct validity was supported by better
neurobehavioral performance of 7-week-old infants compared with 1-week-old infants.
Conclusion: Changes in the NBAS structure for the Portuguese sample are suggested
compared to Lester factors in order to reach better internal consistency of the scale.
To investigate high-anxiety and depression in women and men from early pregnancy to 3-months postpartum, 260 Portuguese couples (N=520) filled in the State Depression Scale (EPDS) at the first, second, and third pregnancy trimesters, childbirth, and 3-months postpartum.
