Swedish maternity care professionals' perception of labor induction
CONCLUSIONS: Labor inductions might pose challenges to midwives and could bring to light underlying tensions between obstetricians/gynecologists and midwives. Given the modest response rate of the study, we cautiously suggest that while the development of new maternity care guidelines should be grounded in evidence, they should also embrace concerns and insights from a diversity of professional perspectives.PMID:38636350 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103997 (Source: Midwifery)

Assessment of the psychometric properties of the italian version of the midwifery student evaluation of practice (MIDSTEP-IT): A validity and reliability study
CONCLUSION: The MidSTEP-IT had been proven to be a valid and reliable tool, easy and fast to administer, that could be effectively helpful for investigating and measuring the Italian midwifery students' perception of their clinical learning experiences, according to the setting and impact of mentors on their professional growth. It is an innovative tool, valuable in both clinical practice and research to highlight the importance of encouraging a supportive clinical learning environment and an efficient preceptorship.PMID:38631137 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103991 (Source: Midwifery)

A cost analysis of upscaling access to continuity of midwifery carer: Population-based microsimulation in Queensland, Australia
CONCLUSION: Enabling most childbearing women in Australia to access continuity of midwifery carer would realise significant cost savings for the public health care system by reducing the rate of operative birth.PMID:38615374 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103998 (Source: Midwifery)

The social and healthcare professional support drawn upon by women antenatally during the COVID-19 pandemic: A recurrent, cross-sectional, thematic analysis
CONCLUSIONS: At T1, anxieties were ascribed to the exclusion of partners from routine care, and to perceived insensitivity and aggression from the public. For T2, insufficient Governmental transparency led to disillusionment, confusion, and anger. Covert workplace discrimination also caused distress at T2. Across timepoints: deteriorated mental wellbeing was attributed to depleted opportunities to interact socially and scaled back maternity care.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Recommendations are made to: protect maternal autonomy; improve quality of mental health and routine care signposting; prioritise parental community supp...

Status and predictors of readiness for hospital discharge in women with caesarean section: A latent profile analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The perception of RHD by women in the study was inaccurate, with more than half not being classified as High RHD. Healthcare professionals can anticipate interventions for maternal well-being based on the characteristics of the different RHD classes.PMID:38608543 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.103994 (Source: Midwifery)

Women's expectations, preferences and needs in midwifery care - results from the qualitative Midwifery Care (MiCa) study: Childbirth and early parenthood
CONCLUSIONS: From the user's perspective, midwifery care is crucial during childbirth and the child's first year of life. Current health care during and after childbirth and early parenthood lacks individualised care models, emotional support, adequate and professional communication between different health care providers, and consistency in midwifery care. Our findings should be translated into health care delivery with effective interprofessional teamwork within the continuity of midwifery care. Further quantitative research should analyse the individual healthcare situations of women in the reproductive phase of their l...
