Are obstetric care providers able to assess psychosocial risks , identify and refer high-risk pregnant women : validation of a short assessment tool - the KINDEX Greek version?
Prenatal screenings for psychosocial risks like the KINDEX are feasible in public health settings in Greece. In addition, validity was confirmed in high correlations between the KINDEX results and the results of the validation interviews. The KINDEX Greek version can be considered a valid tool, which can be used by non-trained medical staff providing obstetrical care to identify high-risk women and refer them to adequate mental health and social services. These kind of assessments are indispensable for the promotion of a healthy family environment and child development.
In conclusion, we confirm previously reported results now systematically validated in an online setting and display specifically beneficial effects of FF for motor-impaired users.
