Adaptation and psychometric testing of the Practice Environment Scale for use with midwives.

CONCLUSION: The PES:Midwives was successfully adapted for use with midwives and provides a psychometrically sound tool for research to identify factors associated with the wellbeing, job satisfaction and risk of attrition amongst hospital employed midwives. The PES:Midwives also provides a means of comparing the practice environment across different models of care and employing organizations. PMID: 26264165 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
