    Newly delivered mothers found using a computer for the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI) highly acceptable and easy. The study indicates positive patient attitudes towards computer-administered psychological assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Maternal Health

    Background:

    • Assessing the psychological state of new mothers is crucial for understanding their postpartum adjustment.
    • Computer-administered assessments offer potential for efficient and standardized data collection.
    • Previous research has explored patient acceptance of technology in healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the attitudes of 59 newly delivered mothers towards using a micro-computer for the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI).
    • To determine the usability and acceptability of computer-based psychological assessments in a postpartum population.

    Main Methods:

    • A micro-computer was programmed to administer and score the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI).
    • A paper-and-pencil questionnaire assessed patient attitudes towards the computer interface and its use.

  • Data were collected from 59 newly delivered mothers.

    • Main Results:

    • Nearly all (59/59) participants found the computer acceptable and easy to use.
    • Only one participant minded using the computer.
    • No participants found the instructions difficult to understand or read; only one had reading difficulties.
    • A vast majority (57/59) would use the computer again.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-administered psychological assessments, such as the CCEI, are highly acceptable to newly delivered mothers.
    • The findings support the feasibility and patient-friendliness of using technology for postpartum mental health evaluations.
    • This technology can enhance the efficiency and standardization of data collection in maternal mental health research.
