Towards autonomy - and examination of midwifery education in New Zealand

Abstract:

An examination was conducted, over the period of one academic year to obtain information about student midwive's [sic] beliefs, expectations, and aspirations, concerning becoming autonomous, independent, midwife practitioners. Concurrently, an exploration was made of the five midwifery curricula available in New Zealand (1990), and discussions were held with the various tutors responsible for each course. The study was both quantitative and qualitative. The sample was not randomly selected, the target population being all full-time student midwives enrolled in a midwifery course in New Zealand in 1990.
