Kia ora Victoria, The St.Paul - Ramsey scale refers to an unpublished assessment tool developed by a psychologist Dr Ann E. Lumry in the late 70s. She was still at St Paul - Ramsey Hospital, Ramsey County Minnesota in the late 80s. Hopefully someone there can help you access the scale. Kind regards.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Victoria Vivilaki Sent: Tuesday, 19 February 2008 1:53 p.m. To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Life Event Scales and Postnatal Depression Dear All, Stressful life events are associated with the onset of postnatal depression. I would appreciate if someone is aware of a stressful life event scale, especially one that is about stressful events that may occur during pregnancy or postnatally. These events may be relevant with the postnatal depression (bad relationship with the partner) or irrelevant ones (death of relative). I was told that a useful life event scale for the perinatal period is the Paul Ramsey Scale (I had no luck in finding it). Does anybody know about this Life Event Scale or any other? Does anybody use a life event scale in clinical practice? I would be grateful if anyone could help me. I would like to translate and maybe validate a Life Event scale in Greek language for research reasons. Thank you in advance for your precious help.
