Evaluating women's experiences and satisfaction with labour induction in India: a comparison of the participant generated experience and satisfaction (PaGES) index with standard methods.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although induction of labour is becoming more common worldwide, there are few studies that assess women's satisfaction with it. The newly developed Participant Generated Experience and Satisfaction (PaGES) Index collects brief qualitative data and quantifies it, allowing detailed satisfaction data to be collected on large populations. The PaGES data has never previously been compared to other methods of assessing study participants' satisfaction. We aimed to triangulate PaGES Index, Likert questionnaire and interview data from a large, randomised trial of labour induction to fully understand women's priorities, experience and satisfaction and to compare the findings of the three instruments.

Methods

A convergent parallel multi-methods research design was used. Par
