Maternal mortality and morbidity do not adequately represent women's healthcare experiences. Traditional clinical outcomes must be complemented with tools that assess patients' subjective experiences to provide a comprehensive view of care effectiveness. The proposed Antenatal Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREM) tool, developed with input from women who have experienced maternity care, highlights relevant aspects for pregnant mothers and ensures reliability and cross-cultural validation. A multiphase study conducted in 15 Indian hospitals employed purposive sampling. Phase 1 involved forming an expert group, conducting focus group discussions, establishing a standard operating procedure, and creating the PREM Questionnaire. Phases 2 and 3 included a pilot study with 220 participants and a field study with 518 respondents. A PREM tool with 22 expert-sourced questions achieved an internal consistency value of 0.7205, indicating acceptable reliability. The mean content validity index was 0.998, demonstrating high validity, and the content validity ratio was 0.95. Experts deemed 21 out of 22 questions essential. The PREM tool displayed good reliability and strong content validity. The validated PREM enhances antenatal care outcomes by prioritizing women's perspectives.
孕产妇死亡率和发病率并不能充分体现女性的医疗保健经历。传统的临床结果必须辅以评估患者主观体验的工具,以便全面了解护理效果。拟议的产前患者报告体验指标(PREM)工具是在有过孕产护理经历的女性参与下开发的,突出了对怀孕母亲而言的相关方面,并确保了可靠性和跨文化验证。在印度15家医院开展的一项多阶段研究采用了目的抽样法。第一阶段包括组建一个专家组、进行焦点小组讨论、制定标准操作程序以及编制PREM问卷。第二阶段和第三阶段包括对220名参与者进行的预试验研究以及对518名受访者进行的实地研究。一个包含22个源自专家的问题的PREM工具的内部一致性值为0.7205,表明可靠性可接受。平均内容效度指数为0.998,显示出高效度,内容效度比为0.95。专家们认为22个问题中有21个至关重要。PREM工具显示出良好的可靠性和较强的内容效度。经过验证的PREM通过优先考虑女性的观点来改善产前护理结果。
