Abstract
PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the fitness of the Barkin Index of Maternal Functioning (BIMF) for postpartum functional assessment in a low-income obstetric population in medically underserved, Central Georgia (USA).
Design and MethodsCognitive interviewing, a best practices approach to instrument development and validation, was performed on 24 new mothers.
FindingsThe BIMF was comprehensible to this population of disadvantaged women.
Practice ImplicationsThe BIMF has broad appeal due to its comprehensibility, patient-centered assessment style, and psychometric profile. Method of questionnaire administration and characteristics of the study and/or patient population should routinely be considered when implementing any type of self-reported health screening.
