Thank you Soo. I like it too.
Hi Billie,
The MGI's been shown to work well postnatally in two studies, and we've
just published a limited antenatal-postnatal follow-up from a third,
smaller, study.
Very happy to discuss this off-line with you.
There are several references from these studies, but you could start
with these ones:
Symon A, McGreavey J, Picken C (2003) Validation of the Mother-Generated
Index. British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 110: 865-868
Symon A, Dobb B (2008) An Exploratory Study to Assess the Acceptability
of an Antenatal Quality of Life Instrument (The Mother-Generated Index).
Midwifery, 24: 442-450
Symon A, Dobb B (2011) Maternal quality of life Assessment: The
feasibility of antenatal-postnatal follow-up using the Mother-Generated
Index. Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology; 29 (2): 183-194
Best wishes,
Andrew

Hi all
Does anyone recommend a Quality of Life Measurement Tool that has been
validated for use in maternity care? We would like to include one in an
evaluation of an early labour intervention
Many thanks
