產後心理健康近年來成為產後照顧的重要課題。本研究目的在檢測中文版愛丁堡產後憂鬱量表之信效度，此一量表只有十題而且是針對產後憂鬱特別設計的量表。本研究方法以中文版愛丁堡產後憂鬱量表與貝氏憂鬱量表針對一百二十位產後四週的台灣初產婦進行憂鬱程度評估，結果顯示中文版愛丁堡產後憂鬱量表與貝氏憂鬱量表的同時效度為0.79，中文版愛丁堡產後憂鬱量表的內在一致性Cronbach's為0.87，結論為中文版愛丁堡產後憂鬱量表有適當的信效度，建議以得分大於九作為篩檢台灣婦女之產後憂鬱。

　　　　　The Chinese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was revalidated among Chinese women in Taiwan during the fourth week postpartum. One hundred and twenty primiparas completed the EPDS and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) four weeks after giving birth. The concurrent validity of the EPDS evaluated against the BDI scores was r= 0.79. The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the EPDS was 0.87. Results showed that the Chinese version of the EPDS has appropriate reliability and validity and a cut-off score of 9 /10 is recommended for screening postnatal depression among Taiwanese women.
