Validation of the pregnancy-related anxiety scale (PrAS) for pregnant women in Indonesia.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAnxiety is become a common disorder during pregnancy. The Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale (PrAS) is a common tool for assess pregnancy anxiety. However, not yet validated in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PrAS in Indonesia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 92 pregnant women attending a Public Health Center in Indonesia. Content validity was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR), evaluating item relevance and inter-rater agreement. Construct validity was examined through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to determine the underlying factor structure of the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale (PrAS).
resultsThe mean age of pregnant women who participated was 29.12 years (SD = 4.85) with their pregnancy age mean 28 weeks. The content validity using CVI shows that 29 of 32 items are valued 1.00, the same score produced on the CVR. Indicating only 3 items need to be reviewed or revised. Regarding the construct validity, the final model of the PrAS was 7 dimensions which initially formed 8 dimensions. Although the Chi-square (χ2) index was not a good fit (df = 370, p-value = 0.0001) this multidimensional model fits the data supported by the index of Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) estimate was 0.058. Followed by the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) and the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) were 0.978 and 0.976 respectively, meaning that the goodness of fit indices were obtained. This pilot study results in a valid instrument of the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale (PrAS).
conclusionsThe Indonesian version of the PrAS is a valid tool for screening and assessing Indonesian women's pregnancy-related anxiety.
