Abstract: Objectives: To describe the process for the translation and validation of the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale—Preterm Birth [PSAS‐PTB] and the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale—Neonatal Intensive Care Unit [PSAS‐NICU]. Methods: We outline a four‐stage process for translation and validation of the 10‐item PSAS‐PTB and the 16‐item PSAS‐NICU. Results: The protocol outlines a multi‐stage translation and validation process, including (1) independent forward translation, (2) independent back translation, (3) final approval following review, and (4) validity and reliability study. Conclusions: Culturally and contextually relevant assessment of postpartum anxiety is vital, particularly in vulnerable populations. Following standardised procedures will support broader applicability across diverse populations, providing a reliable self‐report tool for both research and clinical use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
