Last week, we explored women's views of whether birthplans empower them in the birth process. This week, the second half of the study is presented. It explored the perceptions of empowerment from ten midwives, using the birthplan as a tool. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated that several factors could disempower the women as well as the midwives. For women to be empowered, midwives need to provide open communication, adequate life skills, a nurturing and caring environment, and a democratic management structure. Advocacy and paternalism were found to be constraining factors for empowerment.
上周，我们探讨了女性对于分娩计划能否在分娩过程中赋予她们权力的看法。本周，将呈现该研究的后半部分。研究以分娩计划为工具，探究了十位助产士对赋权的认知。通过半结构化访谈收集数据。研究结果表明，有几个因素可能会削弱女性和助产士的权力。为了赋予女性权力，助产士需要提供开放的沟通、足够的生活技能、一个滋养且关爱的环境以及民主的管理结构。研究发现，倡导和家长式作风是赋权的制约因素。
