Where are you how truly open and challenging or reflective are your tutors??
How many words are required??
Now if I was doing this essay ..........
I would challenge or question how many particuarly Aust research journals/papers are actually reporting midwifery research ??
is
I would Begin with a definition of midwifery 'with woman' and bit of a discourse on the implications of this around what women are capable of when in the care of those who work with them and their bodies eg midwives like the Farm, outcomes of midwifery led care units in UK (see the UK BIrth Choices web site), Australia (CMP in WA & Sth Aust, MGPs in NSW & SA) .
However this is not what is mostly promoted as midwifery research rather Obstetric directed care is offered as Midwifery research often without a midwifery critique!!!

Subject: [ozmidwifery] What is midwifery?
What a question!
I am a 2nd year BMid student confronted with an essay which asks just that.
We are being told to: "Be innovative. Consult personnel - midwives, women,
multidisciplinary colleagues." Which leads me to this list! I'd really love
opinions, thoughts and even directions to relevant literature. The full
question is below. If anyone has any gems on research, I'd love to hear
them, but the main thing I am chasing from this list is the understanding of
what midwifery is bit. I have my own ideas and will certainly try to find
appropriate references. But your opinions/thoughts would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Kate
Consider the relevance of research to midwifery, as well as the issues,
problems, challenges and benefits of research and/in midwifery. You will
also need to include an explanation of research itself and an understanding
of what midwifery is. Include a critical analysis of contemporary midwifery
using literature sources to substantiate your analysis.
