Résumé : |
Background to the study : It is estimated that one in four women experiences birth trauma and this, if unresolved, can lead to irrational, unconscious flashbacks when exposed to an associated situation. Mature student midwives often attribute their own birth experiences as a catalyst to commence their midwifery studies, however, little is known about how this experience can affect them in clinical placement.
Aims of the research : To examine student midwives' personal experiences of birth, their perceptions about birth and how these may influence their clinical practice. Methodology : A qualitative phenomenological approach was adopted and a purposive sample of 10 student midwives was interviewed using a semi-structured method. The transcripts were coded and thematic analysis used to search for themes. Conclusions : More research is needed to explore whether student midwives would benefit from counselling prior to their first clinical placement to examine and debrief their own experience, reducing attrition by managing expectations. Including such a session in the existing midwifery curricula is also recommended. |
