Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 31, 207-213. doi:10.1017/S1352465803002091 Primary use / Purpose: The Pregnancy Related Beliefs Questionnaire (PRBQ) is a 54-item inventory rated on 7 point Likert-type scale. Its purpose is to measure women’s' beliefs about pregnancy and make similar contributions as existing scales towards greater understanding and prediction of postnatal depression Background: Psychological measures have proven disappointing in the prediction of postnatal depression in women. To address this weakness, Moorhead, Owens, and Scott (2003) developed the Pregnancy Related Beliefs Questionnaire (PRBQ). The PRBQ was shown to correlate with several other constructs as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, and the Cognitive Adaption to Stressful Events Questionnaire (CASE), as well as showing early potential in the prediction of postnatal depression. Psychometrics: The psychometric properties of the Pregnancy Related Beliefs Questionnaire (PRBQ) are discussed in Moorhead, Owens, and Scott (2003).

The Pregnancy Related Beliefs Questionnaire (PRBQ)

1 forms  
The following is a list of different attitudes or beliefs that people sometimes hold. Read each statement carefully and decide how much you agree or disagree with the statement. Many of them relate to attitudes and expectations about being a mother more than being pregnant. Try to think about these in terms of your own expectations or ideas about motherhood. There is no correct answer as everybody is different. To decide on the correct response when you are thinking about a statement, try to imagine yourself in the situation and answer how YOU FEEL rather than what you think SHOULD be the right answer. Another way of helping you decide would be to decide whether a given attitude is your typical way of looking at things - most of the time.
