PROJECT AVAILABLE: 

Project: The Maternal Looking Guide: Evaluating the rollout of the Maternal Looking Guide (MLG) across Child and Family Health Services, South Australia.

Project description:

The Maternal Looking Guide (MLG) aims to identify and address a real-world problem – that mothers and babies can miss one another when they first meet in that precious time post birth. A mounting body of evidence (Moore et al. 2017) shows that experiences in the first 1000 days, from conception until the end of the second year, impact all aspects of development and functioning over the life course – physical health and wellbeing, mental health, social functioning and cognitive development. The relational environment of the baby is a critical factor.

The MLG is a clinical tool with demonstrated reliability (O’Rourke et.al. 2021) that can be used for early assessment and decision-making about the mother-infant relationship. By identifying those dyads who will benefit from immediate increased support,  The MLG assists midwives and other perinatal professionals to sensitively respond at this critical developmental juncture for baby and mother.

The MLG and training package has been evaluated in three international sites, and will be rolled out across the Child and Family Health Service, South Australia from August 2022. The intention for this project is to design and implement an evaluation with special attention to take-up, adherence and fidelity, and understanding the barriers to and enablers of the rollout in order to identify markers for improvement.

Identification of possible relational difficulties in the perinatal period increases the likelihood of early support being provided to the mother-infant relationship. It also assists organisations to allocate scarce resources to those who most need them. The MLG translates the well-established knowledge of the importance of gaze in early relationship into evidence-based behaviours, validates what to date has been clinical intuition, and enables appropriate intervention.

There is no scholarship attached to the project.
