Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A shift has occurred in the last decade toward preregistration undergraduate Bachelor of Midwifery programs in Australia. This has led to an increase in the numbers of student midwives from diverse backgrounds with limited experience of university and socialization into hospital systems.AIM: This study aimed to explore commencing midwifery students’ beliefs about birth and expectations of the role of the midwife.METHOD: A qualitative descriptive approach was used. All 115 commencing first-year midwifery students enrolled in the first week of an undergraduate Bachelor of Midwifery program were invited and completed a self-administered survey. The survey used open-ended questions to elicit student beliefs about birth and the role of the midwife. Latent content analysis was used to analyze the data set.FINDINGS: Midwifery students’ beliefs were captured within the four themes: birth as “a miracle,” “a woman’s journey,” “a transformative event,” and “a natural process.” Students articulated the role of the midwife as one of support, education, advocacy, and partnership. Student beliefs and expectations were aligned with the emergent philosophy of the normality of birth and woman-centered care within the Australian maternity care context.CONCLUSION: Greater understanding is essential to designing quality midwifery education programs that are responsive to the needs of commencing student midwives. Supporting midwifery students’ successful transition into, and early engagement with the midwifery profession, may have long-term benefits in terms of retention and successful completion of their program. In addition, ensuring professional socialization occurs early is likely to develop graduates who are well prepared to work across their full scope and are willing to participate in the reform of maternity services in Australia.

Abstract:
This paper reports on research that examined the Nurses' Acts, regulations and current policies of each state and territory in Australia, in order to determine their adequacy in regulating the education and practice of midwifery. This is part of a three-year study (Australian Midwifery Action Project) set up to identify and investigate barriers to midwifery within the provision of mainstream maternity services in Australia. Through an in-depth examination and comparison of key factors in the various statutes, the paper identifies their effect on contemporary midwifery roles and practices. The work assessed whether the current regulatory system that subsumes midwifery into nursing is adequate in protecting the public appropriately and ensuring that minimum professional standards are met. This is of particular importance in Australia, where many maternity health care services are seeking to maximise midwives' contributions through the development of new models of care that increase midwives' autonomy and level of accountability.

Abstract:
Objective Fear of childbirth is known to increase a woman’s likelihood of having a Caesarean section. Continuity of midwifery care is known to reduce this risk, but less than 8% of women have access to this relationship-based, primary care model. The aims of this study were to determine whether healthcare use and access to continuity models are equal across different indicators of socioeconomic status for women who are fearful of birth. Methods A secondary analysis was conducted of data obtained during a randomised controlled trial of a psychoeducation intervention by trained midwives to minimise childbirth fear (the Birth Emotions and Looking to Improve Expectant Fear (BELIEF) study). In all, 1410 women were screened, with 339 women reporting high levels of fear (Wijma-Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire ≥66). Demographic, obstetric information, birth preference and psychosocial measures were collected at recruitment and at 36 weeks gestation for the 339 fearful women, with the birth method and health service use returned by 183 women at 6 weeks after the birth. Results Univariate analysis revealed no significant difference in the number of general practitioner and midwife visits between women of high and low income and high and low education. However, women with higher levels of education had 2.51-fold greater odds of seeing the same midwife throughout their pregnancy than women with lower education (95% confidence interval 1.25–5.04), after adjusting for age, parity and hospital site. Conclusions Given the known positive outcomes of continuity of midwifery care for women fearful of birth, health policy makers need to provide equity in access to evidence-based models of midwifery care. What is known about this topic? Caseload midwifery care is considered the gold standard care due to the known positive outcomes it has for the mother and baby during the perinatal period. Pregnant women who receive caseload midwifery care are more likely to experience a normal vaginal birth. What does this paper add? There is unequal access to midwifery caseload care for women fearful of birth across socioeconomic boundaries. Midwifery caseload care is not used for all fearful mothers during the perinatal period. What are the implications for practitioners? Health policy makers seeking to provide equity in access to maternity care should be aware of these inequalities in use to target delivery of care at this specific cohort of mothers.

Abstract:
AIM:This article describes how newly qualified midwives experienced their rotation into birth suite and a continuity of midwifery care model. The findings are part of a larger study that aimed to describe graduate midwives’ expectations and experiences of their transition to practice.BACKGROUND:Knowledge and understanding of how midwives make the transition from student to registered midwife remain limited. However, the literature suggests that this time is a critical period for a new graduate. Although transition support programs for midwives exist in New South Wales, Australia, there appears to be an ad hoc approach to their design, implementation, and effectiveness.METHOD:A descriptive qualitative approach to elicit the experiences of 38 newly qualified Australian midwives. Telephone interviews and focus groups were used to collect the data. Content analysis was used to analyze the data set.FINDINGS:The birthing environment was identified as the clinical area, which elicited the greatest level of apprehension for the midwives, whereas those with the opportunity to rotate into a midwifery continuity of care model rated the experience positively.CONCLUSION:The findings of the study suggest that the newly graduated midwives felt a sense of social and professional belonging to the midwifery continuity of care models in which they worked.KEYWORDS:newly graduated midwife; transition support programs; birth suite; models of care; continuity of care; hierarchy

Abstract:
Until the eighteenth century, midwifery was the sole domain of women, but changes in medical science saw it appropriated by medical men and the ‘man-midwife’ emerged. This paper demonstrates the work of a man-midwife in a small English village in one year, 1775, using his accounts and correspondence. The man was Matthew Flinders Senior, ‘surgeon and man-midwife’ at Donington, Lincolnshire. He was the father of Captain Matthew Flinders, the famous navigator who mapped the coast line of Australia and who coined that name. Primary sources, published as a collection by the Lincoln Record Society, were used. Flinders Senior made a good living from his midwifery, charging rates commensurate with those charged by obstetricians today (with reduced costs for the poor). His descriptions of his practice show how midwifery was conducted in rural England during the development of medicine as a high-status profession. The paper uses data from one year to provide a snap shot of the work of a rural surgeon and man-midwife, but much more is available in the published collection, providing ready access for researchers who may like to pursue such work further.

Abstract:
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 in-depth interviews (n=75), using a grounded theory approach (Glaser and Strauss, 1967; Strauss and Corbin, 1990).The questionnaire, in-depth interviews and observational field work addressed the practice of midwives:1. as documented in policies and procedures in practice settings.2. as defined by the Australian College of Midwives Incorporated in Standards for the Practice of Midwifery (1989), based on the International Confederation of Midwives' Definition of a Midwife (World Health Organisation, 1976).Data obtained through the survey questionnaire were analysed using descriptive analysis (Wilson, 1985) to portray a summarization of the entire data set. A thematic content analysis was used for the open-ended questions of the survey (Burnard, 1991). In an attempt to discover the 'how and why' questions associated with the study's survey findings, the constant comparative method of analysis of data from in-depth interviews was deemed appropriate (Glaser, 1978; Field and Morse, 1985; Chenitz and Swanson, 1986). This allowed a more abstract level of conceptualization that led to the development of a paradigm reflective of the midwives' practice domain (Strauss and Corbin, 1990).Lack of opportunities to practise throughout all stages of pregnancy and childbirth was identified as the major problem limiting the Australian midwives' practice domain. An explanatory process of Optimising Opportunities for Holistic Midwifery Practice emerged explaining midwives' actions and interactions throughout the four stages of optimising: revealing the image; influencing decision making; changing the paradigm; and expanding the profession.The findings of the study provide an analysis of Australian midwifery practice that considers factors facilitating and/or impeding the professional role and development of Australian midwives, and their ability to provide care that meets consumer needs.

Abstract:
Objective: To compare maternal and neonatal birth outcomes and morbidities associated with the intention to give birth in two freestanding midwifery units and two tertiary level maternity units in New South Wales, Australia. Design: Prospective cohort study. Participants: 494 women who intended to give birth at freestanding midwifery units and 3157 women who intended to give birth at tertiary level maternity units. Participants had low risk, singleton pregnancies and were less than 28+0 weeks gestation at the time of booking. Results: Women who planned to give birth at a freestanding midwifery unit were significantly more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth and significantly less likely to have a caesarean section. There was no significant difference in the adjusted odds ratio of 5 minute Apgar scores. Babies from the freestanding midwifery unit group were significantly less likely to be admitted to neonatal intensive care or special care nursery. The freestanding unit group had similar or reduced odds of other intrapartum interventions and similar or improved odds of other indicators of neonatal wellbeing. Conclusions: The results of this study support the provision of care in freestanding midwifery units as an alternative to tertiary level maternity units for women with low risk pregnancies at the time of booking.

Clinical facilitation is a model of supervision for students during professional practice experiences, with little known about this important aspect of midwifery education. A qualitative descriptive exploratory approach with thematic analysis was used to develop knowledge and understanding of undergraduate midwifery students’ experiences with such supervision in Western Australia. Midwifery clinical facilitation was highly valued by midwifery students. Respondent insights and recommendations will be instrumental in further developing and enhancing midwifery models of clinical supervision.

Abstract:
Colonisation with Group B Streptococci (GBS) is a major risk factor for neonatal infection acquired via vertical transmission during pregnancy, labour, or birth, potentially resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Universal screening at 35 – 37 weeks gestation for maternal GBS colonisation and the use of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis has resulted in substantial reductions in the burden of neonatal Early-Onset GBS Disease (EOGBSD). Women in Western Australia (WA) are offered GBS screening in pregnancy and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. Anecdotal evidence suggests variations in viewpoints and thus low adherence to relevant clinical guidelines amongst midwives and pregnant women in the midwifery led model of care. To date, no research has been undertaken to provide empirical evidence for these anecdotal reports, suggesting the need for research. This study has aimed to investigate the adherence to recommended GBS screening guidelines across five maternity hospitals in metropolitan and regional WA. Three objectives guided this research conducted within two different cohorts (midwifery and non-midwifery led) plus subgroups including Midwifery Group Practice (MGP), Community Midwifery Program (CMP) and Private Midwives (PM): 1) determination of GBS colonisation rates; 2) the examination of adherence to antenatal GBS screening; and 3) examination of adherence to the intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis protocol. This retrospective WA study has employed a quantitative research design using administrative health data that included 22,417 pregnant women who gave birth between 2015 – 2019. Descriptive statistics were applied using secondary data analysis to describe the characteristics and patterns of GBS screening guideline adherence. The results were compared between all involved study cohorts. The study revealed similar GBS colonisation rates amongst pregnant women in all included study groups. A lower adherence to the GBS screening guidelines was found in the midwifery led model of care when compared to the non-midwifery led model of care. Over the five-year period, screening rates trended down in the midwifery led population whilst the numbers remained stable in the non-midwifery led cohort. When the MGP groups were compared across the five hospitals, vast variations were discovered. Further, when rates of adherence were investigated in relation to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, discrepant findings emerged between the study groups. This study not only fills an important gap in the existing literature, it also seeks to assist guidance and improvement of clinical protocols in relation to GBS screening to reduce the risk of neonatal infection. Recommendations include educational interventions and the need for further research.

Abstract:
The Ballarat goldfields were a raucous, noisy, exhilarating place that was a tent home for thousands of men, women and children in the 1850s. The Ballarat goldrush and the Eureka Rebellion are among the most significant events in the history of Australia. They set the scene for this study titled Eureka! Women and birthing on the Ballarat goldfields in the 1850s. This qualitative study utilised and historical research method informed by a feminist perspective. This account reveals the story of women’s lives and their birthing at this time as found in historical documents. These documents revealed that the women birthed in their tents with a female friend, relative or lay midwife present. Trained midwives were rare and doctors were too expensive for the majority of poor diggers with no guarantee they were genuine. While most women birthed safely the appalling conditions, infection and birth complications all contributed to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. This study has implications for both women and midwives. Hearing voices through this story of their lives and birthing will expand the understanding of issues specific to women. The sharing of the story of birthing in the 1850s will raise awareness of the connections between midwifery history and the twenty-first century giving midwives an appreciation of the past along with different perspectives and greater understanding of women and birthing so their midwifery practice in the future will be enhanced.

Full text
Abstract:
Breech presentation creates division in the consumer and healthcare communities. A number of studies report the use of scare tactics and bullying from clinicians, when women express a preference for vaginal birth after the diagnosis of a breech presenting fetus. Despite evidence showing that vaginal birth of a breech presenting fetus is safe in the presence of an appropriately skilled and experienced clinician, Caesarean Section is the primary mode of birth for breech presenting fetuses, which has resulted in a global lack of accessibility to breech birth experienced practitioners and birth mode options for women. Women planning a vaginal breech birth in a maternity care system, where the occurrence of this phenomenon is rare, face multiple challenges. Little is known of women’s breech pregnancy and birth experiences in Western Australia (WA). A mixed methods study involving semi-structured interviews, a multinational electronic Delphi (e-Delphi) study and clinical practice guideline review was designed to explore breech presentation from the perspective of women in Western Australia, and professionals with knowledge and/or experience of caring for women with a breech presenting fetus. The clinical practice guideline review provides insight into the parameters women with a breech presenting fetus planning a vaginal birth have to work within. For the clinical guideline review, clinical practice guidelines were purposively sought from leading obstetric organisations and reviewed using the International Centre for Allied Health Evidence (iCAHE) appraisal checklist. Key consistencies and inconsistencies between the guidelines were identified. Varying levels of evidence are used to support the recommendations made by professional organisations. The inconsistencies highlighted in the review have the potential to create confusion among clinicians and women and to cause issues related to valid consent, further emphasising the importance of balanced information and universal definitions for variations such as a footling presentation. The women’s aspect of this study illustrates the experiences of some women in WA. Critical theoretical concepts of knowledge and power as described by Michel Foucault, were used to describe power relations noted during clinical interactions between women and their care providers. These findings were consistent with previous reports of coercion and bullying when women’s preferences conflicted with those of their care provider. Also identified were five distinct phases women experienced throughout their breech experience – Reacting, Information, Bargaining, Decision Making and Acceptance - which showed some similarities to the Kübler-Ross model of grief. Combining the Five Stages of Breech and Foucauldian concepts of knowledge and power facilitated the identification of areas in practice which need improvement. Midwives were seen as supportive navigators of a restrictive system. The multinational e-Delphi study explored the panel’s knowledge views and recommendations of care for breech presentation. The main findings of this aspect of the study were the Breech Care Pathway provided in a midwifery-led multidisciplinary continuity of care model, a clinical skills development and maintenance framework and the proposal of a standard definition for a footling breech presentation. Providing woman-centred care in a midwifery – led multidisciplinary continuity of care model has the potential to improve the experiences and health outcomes for women and their babies. While continued improvement is needed, steps are being undertaken, particularly by midwives, to facilitate women’s autonomy and support their birth preferences. This thesis highlights current obstacles faced by women and clinicians in relation to breech presentation in contemporary maternity care. It suggests multiple ways in which this may be achieved and provides pathways and frameworks which may be used to support this process.

Full text
Abstract:
In this study, the childbearing women's perception of the role of a midwife in Australia was explored using a descriptive study. Data was gathered using a semi structured questionnaire.The findings revealed that childbearing women in Australia overwhelmingly believed a midwife is specifically trained and qualified to deliver babies normally and to care for a woman in labour.In addition, the belief was that a midwife is trained to provide a comprehensive range of maternity related tasks.The overriding themes which emerged identified the midwife as a source of advice, information, support, education, guidance, specific midwifery knowledge and being a liason person between the doctor and the pregnant woman.Limitation of the role of a midwife was believed to be due to the nursing based training of a midwife.The findings from this study revealed that childbearing women in Australia, United Kingdom and Singapore have similar perceptions of a midwife's role.Recommendations were made for further studies to investigate the reasons for a persistent lack of information regarding the role of a midwife and the type of information required by pregnant women.

Continuing professional development is mandatory for all healthcare professionals in Australia. This chapter explores how the expectations of the regulatory and professional organisations of nursing and midwifery can be integrated within the profession by enrolled and registered nurses and midwives to meet the requirements and maintain their registrations. Using actual case studies as a basis, the chapter demonstrates how continuing professional development can be delivered as mobile or m-learning using social media or mobile technologies within this health profession. This chapter focuses on case studies from the Australian healthcare sector; however, it appears that similar issues arise in other countries and so the challenges and solutions described in the case studies can inform practice in other countries. It concludes by discussing the potential for continuing professional development m-learning into the future.

This chapter focuses on case studies from the Australian healthcare sector; however, it appears that similar issues arise in other countries and so the challenges and solutions described in the case studies can inform practice in other countries. It concludes by discussing the potential for continuing professional development m-learning into the future.

Abstract:
This chapter details a collaborative teaching and learning evaluative project between Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy, and Medicine at Keele University to explore the development of team working skills (NOTECH) and debrief within an inter-professional active virtual learning environment (KAVE). The virtual ward and NOTECH training provided within the KAVE are thought to be the first of their kind within the UK. The project has recently been presented within Australia and Italy, and been very positively received. KAVE is a physical room where three-dimensional “stereoscopic” visuals display on three walls and the floor to create a computer-generated virtual environment. A student wears active 3D glasses and a lightweight head and hand-tracking device. The computer-generated visuals respond to position in the KAVE and allow the student to “pick up” and interact with digital objects such as care plans, prescription charts, observation charts, etc. The virtual ward is able to simulate observation and diagnostic skills training. ECG monitors' provide information regarding the status of each virtual patient within the ward. The virtual ward clinical simulation enabled the students to rehearse professional behaviours in a risk-free environment, whilst providing opportunities for non-technical skills practice prior to real-world patient encounters. Early evaluations received from students have been very positive.

Abstract:
Internationally healthcare organisations and governments are grappling with the issue of upskilling healthcare workforces in relation to digital health. Significant research has been undertaken in relation to documenting essential digital health capability requirements for the workforce. In 2019 the Australian Digital Health Agency funded work by the Australasian Institute of Digital Health to develop a National Nursing and Midwifery Digital Health Capability Framework. This paper describes the methodological approach used in the development of the Framework.

Abstract:
This paper discussed an initiative implemented for on-campus first-year nursing and midwifery students studying Human Body, which covered core Anatomy and Physiology, at a South Australian university. The initiative implemented was flipping the classroom with the objective of facilitating active learning. Formal lectures were replaced by student-centred activities that encouraged studying the topics before coming to class, discussing their understanding and misconceptions, and determining the new learning that was achieved during class. A post-flip classroom survey was used to gauge the impact of the initiative on students. Of the 532 students enrolled in the science class, 188 students completed the questionnaire for a 35% response rate. The survey queried students’ views about the flipped classroom, their experience/s with the teaching format, the learning that transpired, engagement with content and study materials, what they liked about it, impact on their test scores, and areas to improve the initiative. Findings showed 60% preferred the flipped classroom approach,.Students were actively engaged with and challenged by the content. They actively participated and learned, and found the flipped classroom to be interactive,enjoyable and fun. In fact, 77% of respondents recommended flipped classroom to future students.
