Editorial reading guide · Independence
Are we asking about the stress of returning, or just whether someone has returned?
Develops a specific measure of postpartum work-resumption stress, offering a way to hear the transition’s demands rather than reducing readiness to a return date.
Study context
Two independent samples of 298 and 291 low-risk Dutch mothers returning to work.
Age / stage: Adults in the postpartum return-to-work transition.
Read with three questions
- How were the initial 71 items reduced to the 30-item REWINd inventory?
- What did factor structure, reliability and convergent validity establish?
- Which populations and outcomes still need validation?
Keep the limits in view
Psychometric performance in low-risk Dutch mothers does not establish diagnostic thresholds or suitability for employment decisions, other parent groups or other cultures.
