Empowering Decision-Making in Midwifery : A Global Perspective Paperback / softback
Edited by Elaine (Southern Cross University, Australia) Jefford, Julie Jomeen
Paperback / softback
Description
Decision-making pervades all aspects of midwifery practice across the world.
Midwifery is informed by a number of decision-making theories, but it is sometimes difficult to marry these theories with practice. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of decision-making for midwives irrespective of where in the world they practice or in which model of care.
The first part critically reviews decision-making theories, including the Enhancing Decision-making Assessment in Midwifery (EDAM) tool, and their relevance to midwifery.
It explores the links between midwifery governance, including professional regulation and the law, risk and safety and decision-making as well as how critical thinking and reflection are essential elements of decision-making.
It then goes on to present a number of diverse case studies, demonstrating how they interrelate to and impact upon optimal midwifery decision-making.
Each chapter presents examples that show how the theory translates into practice and includes activities to reinforce learning points.
Bringing together a diverse range of contributors, this volume will be essential reading for midwifery students, practising midwives and midwifery academics.
