Family Violence Prevention Programme for Midwives: An Auckland Evaluation

Abstract:

The New Zealand College of Midwives instituted family violence workshop training in 2002 to prepare midwives to integrate screening and referral for family violence into their care. In this paper the findings are presented of a qualitative descriptive study in which a small sample of Auckland midwives participated in focus groups to explore their learning experience and the degree to which the workshop objectives were met. Participant midwives affirmed a commitment to incorporate family violence screening into their practice. They also made recommendations for additional and ongoing teaching and learning activities to facilitate positive and sustainable change in responding effectively towards preventing family violence during pregnancy.
