OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to provide insight into Dutch midwives' self-evaluation of prenatal counseling for anomaly screening in real life practice and, the degree of congruence of midwives' self-assessments with clients' perceptions and with observed performance. METHODS: Counseling sessions were videotaped. We used the QUOTE(prenatal) questionnaire to have each midwife (N = 20) and her client (N = 240) rate the prenatal counseling that they had together. We used an adapted version of the RIAS video-coding system to assess actual counseling during videotaped prenatal counseling (N = 240). RESULTS: Midwives perceived the following functions of counseling performed well: 100% of Client-Counselor relation (CCR); 80% of Health Education (HE); and 17% Decision-Making Support (DMS). Congruence on HE of midwives with observers and with clients was ≥ 75%; congruence on DMS was higher between midwives and observers (80%) compared to midwives and clients (62%). CONCLUSION: Midwives perceive that during prenatal counseling the CCR and HE functions of counseling were performed well, whereas DMS was not. Furthermore, this study shows incongruence between midwives and clients about the discussion during DMS, indicating DMS is more difficult to assess than HE. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The best way to measure prenatal counseling practice might be by using assessments of different sources within one study.
