Health care is provided free at the point of access; SMILI: The Supportive Midwifery in Labour Instrument.
A computer based systematic observation instrument, the 'Supportive Midwifery in Labour Instrument' or 'SMILI', was developed, based on evidence about the key elements of high quality intrapartum support [ 9, 21- 33].
The Supportive Midwifery in Labour Instrument has the potential to make a substantial contribution in future large scale observational or experimental studies of intrapartum support.
The aim of the study was to test the validity and usability of the 'Supportive Midwifery in Labour Instrument' (SMILI) and to test the feasibility and acceptability of the systematic observation approach in the clinical intrapartum setting.
