This article provides a critical overview of midwifery in New Zealand. It first considers the influences in society that have assisted midwives in campaigning for change. Also outlined is the partnership of midwives and consumers that created the climate for an Act of Parliament permitting independent midwifery practice in 1990. Changes to midwifery practice since 1990 are documented, as well as some of the backlash that has occurred since then. In this article, New Zealand midwifery is set in its global context, and the major issue of partnership is also highlighted.
本文对新西兰的助产士行业进行了批判性概述。首先探讨了社会中的各种影响因素，这些因素助力助产士开展变革运动。文中还概述了助产士与消费者之间的合作关系，正是这种合作营造了一种氛围，促使议会于1990年通过法案，允许助产士独立执业。文中记录了1990年以来助产士执业的变化情况，以及此后出现的一些反对意见。在本文中，新西兰的助产士行业置于全球背景下进行阐述，同时也突出了合作关系这一主要问题。
