Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Maternity leave return is common but can be a significant stressor for mothers.
  • Existing research lacks a validated tool to measure this specific stress.
  • Understanding this stress is crucial for supporting working mothers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define maternal postpartum work resumption stress.
  • To develop and validate a self-report measure for this stress.
  • To provide a tool for further research on the topic.

Main Methods:

  • Established face and content validity of an initial item pool (N=71).
  • Conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on two independent samples of mothers returning to work (N=298, N=291).
  • Assessed dimensionality, reliability, and validity of the developed questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Developed the 30-item REturn to Work INventory (REWINd).
  • REWINd demonstrated reliable and valid measurement across three factors.
  • The questionnaire is suitable for further study of maternal postpartum work resumption stress.

Conclusions:

  • The REWINd is a reliable and valid measure for maternal postpartum work resumption stress.
  • This inventory can facilitate research into the nature and consequences of this stress.
  • Further validation studies are recommended to broaden its applicability.
