Resumo: As crenças disfuncionais face à maternidade têm sido apontadas como um fator de risco para a depressão pós-parto. O objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar a Escala de Crenças Disfuncionais Face à Maternidade (ECM), que avalia as crenças disfuncionais face à maternidade, para a população portuguesa, e avaliar as suas qualidades psicométricas. Para tal, utilizou-se uma amostra de 387 mulheres no período pós-parto. As participantes responderam, num estudo transversal, à ECM e a outros questionários de
autorresposta. A análise fatorial confirmatória revelou como mais adequado um modelo tridimensional, semelhante à estrutura original do instrumento: Crenças Relacionadas com o Julgamento dos Outros, Crenças Relacionadas com a Responsabilidade Materna e Crenças Relacionadas com a Idealização do Papel Materno. Além disso, a ECM associou-se de forma significativa à sintomatologia depressiva e aos pensamentos automáticos negativos gerais e no pós-parto, mostrando a sua validade convergente. Ademais, apresentou boa consistência interna para a pontuação total e para as suas dimensões, à exceção da dimensão Crenças Relacionadas com a Responsabilidade Materna. De forma geral, a versão portuguesa da ECM apresentou bons níveis de fidelidade e validade, pelo que constitui um instrumento útil na avaliação das crenças disfuncionais face à maternidade.
Abstract: Dysfunctional beliefs toward motherhood have been identified as a risk factor for postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to adapt the Attitudes Toward Motherhood Scale (AToM), that evaluates dysfunctional beliefs toward motherhood, for the Portuguese population and to evaluate its psychometric qualities. The sample included 387 women in the postpartum period. The participants cross-sectionally answered to the AToM and to other self-report questionnaires. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed as more suitable a three-dimensional model, similar to the original structure of the instrument: Beliefs about Other’s Judgments, Beliefs about Maternal Responsibility and Beliefs about Maternal Role Idealization. In addition, the AToM was significantly associated with depressive symptoms and with general and postpartum negative automatic thoughts, showing its convergent validity. Furthermore, it has shown good internal consistency for the total score and for its dimensions, with the exception of the dimension Beliefs about Maternal Responsibility. In general, the Portuguese version of AToM showed good levels of reliability and validity, so it is a useful tool to assess the dysfunctional beliefs toward motherhood.
