Contexts of Midwifery Practice (Transforming Midwifery Practice Series) (EPUB)

Preparing Student Midwives for Complex Real-World Scenarios

By Helen Muscat, Heather Passmore, and Sam Chenery-Morris

To become skilled and competent practitioners, student midwives need to understand the complex individual, family, and societal issues they will encounter in their profession. This includes being aware of the various challenges many women face in society, such as domestic violence, mental health issues, and sexual health concerns. Moreover, they need to be knowledgeable about the growing obesity epidemic and the increasing number of women from non-UK countries.

This book provides student midwives with a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary context of midwifery practice, empowering them to tackle these issues and make a positive impact on the lives of women and their families. The authors emphasize the importance of public health responsibilities and discuss various health promotion strategies that midwives can employ to promote healthy outcomes.

This invaluable resource covers a range of topics, including:

  • Versions of violence and their impact on women’s health
  • Mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression
  • Sexual health concerns, including sexually transmitted infections
  • The rising obesity epidemic and its effects on maternal and fetal health
  • The needs of women from non-UK countries and culturally sensitive midwifery practice

By introducing student midwives to these critical issues, this book prepares them to provide high-quality, woman-centered care that acknowledges the complexities of real-world scenarios.
