<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>This study was conducted to evaluate the validity of the Arabic translation of the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) in pregnant and postpartum women.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>A sample of 268 women participated. These included 113 women in their third trimester of pregnancy, 97 in the postpartum period and 58 healthy female university students. GHQ-12 and EPDS were also administered to the participants. Internal consistency reliability, assessed using Cronbach's α, was 0.74.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>PSS-10 significantly correlated with both EPDS and GHQ12 (ρ = 0.58 and ρ = 0.48 respectively), and significantly increased with higher scores on stressful life events. PSS-10 scores were higher among university students who also recorded higher stressful life events scores.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>The Arabic translated version of the PSS-10 showed reasonably adequate psychometric properties.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
