This exploratory, descriptive research used a case study approach to analyse the role of the midwife in providing maternal and infant care in Australia. Midwives from the states of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia comprised the target population. These midwives were considered to be representative of the general midwifery population practising in the diverse settings of Australia.A triangulation of methods (Denzin, 1970) was used for data collection. This included observational field work, a questionnaire survey of a randomly selected sample of registered midwives (n=1754), and

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to test the predicted relationships among a component of nurse-midwifery care, psychosocial health outcomes and other maternal psychosocial variables. The theoretical framework for the research was the Intrapartum Care Level of the Nurse-Midwifery Practice Model, a middle range theory. Previous nurse-midwifery research had been based on theories and models not specific to nurse-midwifery practice. A nonexperimental, correlational design was used, with measures in the last trimester of pregnancy and the first month following birth. The psychosocial variables mea

This thesis investigated practice variation among midwives during the third stage of labour. The study aimed to identify and explain the variety of ways midwives managed the third stage and to see if it was possible to identify midwife characteristics associated with different third stage management practices. Initially emphasis was placed on models of midwifery care in labour and the mechanism by which midwives developed expertise in third stage management. A qualitative approach was used based upon the principles of grounded theory with the constant comparative method utilised to collect and

A confident midwife has an impact on a pregnant woman’s clinical outcome and birth experience.

Thesis (MCurr)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The midwives are the backbone of midwifery practice with needs and opportunities to create a tradition of caring in midwifery. However, there are problems that affect the midwifery practice. These problems include the increased maternal and perinatal mortality rate, shortage of material and human resources and poor implementation of policies and guidelines. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that affect quality of care in a midwifery practice at a hospital complex in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.

Midwifery is a dynamic, ever changing, specialised field of nursing involving the care of women and childbearing families. Clients are central to the practice of midwifery and thus their well-being is the main focus of midwives. So, it is not surprising that much of the relatively small body of midwifery research is client focused. As a result, client perspectives have been studied in a number of ways, regarding several aspects of midwifery care.

Abstract:

The role of midwife has been an integral part of the culture of childbirth in Queensland throughout its history, but it is a role that has been modified and reshaped over time. This thesis explores the factors that underpinned a crucial aspect of that modification and reshaping. Specifically, the thesis examines the factors that contributed to the statutory regulation of midwives that began in 1912 and argues that it was that event that etched the development of midwifery practice for the remainder of the twentieth century. In 1859, when Queensland seceded from New South Wales,

Abstract:

This qualitative study explores midwifery practice during the second stage of labour focusing specifically on whether midwives adopt a directed or physiological approach to maternal pushing. It was undertaken against the backdrop of research findings suggesting that there is no proven benefit to directing a woman's pushing efforts but anecdotal evidence suggests that this remains a routine and accepted part of midwifery practice in the United Kingdom (UK). Semi- structured interviews were undertaken with ten midwives who had recent experience of caring for women during the second stage of labo

Abstract:

Empirical studies on the project manager-to-project (PM2P) practice in multi-project environments (MPEs) are limited. Little has been done to study existing PM2P practices in Botswana (a new context), despite evidence of the negative impact of existing practices on organizational performance. Approaches to improve PM2P allocation decisions and get them right first time have become necessary to complement intuition, in making effective decisions (Patanakul et al., 2007) that save costs and lost time in rectifying mismatches between project managers and projects (Skabelund, 2005). Researchers ha
