Résumé : |
Background: The Birthplace study (Brocklehurst et al 2011) found low-risk women have significantly less risk of intervention and more chance of a spontaneous vaginal delivery at home compared to hospital birth, however, the home birth rate in the UK is approximately 2.1 per cent (Office for National Statistics (ONS) 2019). Numerous studies have researched women's experiences of home birth, however, there is limited research into midwives' experiences. Consequently, this literature review aims to analyse literature surrounding midwives' experiences of providing intrapartum care to women with a range of complexities in a home birth setting.
Methods: A pre-determined question was developed and keywords derived which were entered into specialised databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria and a critical analysis tool were used. Results: Four high-quality, reliable papers were selected. Thematic analysis identified three key themes: co-determination, isolated and intuition. Conclusion: Continuity of care is fundamental in attaining positive results for women and satisfaction for midwives, however, further education is required to enable midwives to feel confident in caring for women at home. Resources need to be utilised to provide midwives with the support required to empower them to advocate for women who request care beyond guidelines due to complexity. |
