Comparisons of Three Measures of Maternal Engagement Activities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

In most cases, time spent in engagement activities measured in the EHR was higher than in the surveys or time use diaries. Accuracy of measurements could not be determined because of limitations in data collection, and there is no gold standard for comparison. Nevertheless, findings contribute to ongoing efforts to develop the most valuable and accurate strategies for measuring maternal engagement-a significant predictor of maternal and infant health.
