"This book is easy to read and has relevant content for student
midwives, with inclusion of reflective activities which are clear
and appropriate. I particularly like the vignette's which are
relevant and explore the challenges that midwives face. The
script-like format of these adds a further layer to the narratives,
and the inclusion of non-verbal communication as well is excellent.
This will be an essential text for all student midwives." Mary
Beadle, Midwifery Lecturer, Faculty of Health and Social Care,
University of Hull, UK"Communication Skills for Midwives is a
unique book that focuses not only on fundamental communication
issues, but goes much further by including the many difficult and
tricky issues experienced within contemporary midwifery practice.
This much needed text provides detailed and comprehensive
information which is reinforced by illustrations, vignettes and
activities that engage the reader from the beginning. This is an
excellent resource for students, practitioners and educators."
Nicky Clark, Lead Midwife for Education, University of Hull, UK
"This book covers many poignant examples of difficult and
challenging communication that midwives face in everyday practice
... It covers both every day aspects of care such as facilitating
choice and less common experiences like responding to domestic
violence ... This book is unique and would be good bedtime reading
for any midwife!" Tandy Deane-Grey, Senior Midwifery Lecturer,
University of Hertfordshire, UK "This comprehensive and reader
friendly text ... utilises a variety of strategies to aid
understanding and application to practice. Each chapter has clear
aims to address a challenging situation that readers will readily
identify with and provides an excellent mix of vignettes,
reflective activities, text and diagrams to support the development
of knowledge and skills ..." Heather Passmore, Senior Lecturer,
UCS, UKThis is the first book on communication skills to explore
the more challenging contexts and circumstances that midwives
encounter in practice. As these occur infrequently and often
unexpectedly in the daily practice of many midwives, they may find
it difficult to communicate effectively to alleviate the situation.
Knowing what to say and how to say it is part of this dilemma.The
book uses case vignettes, reflective questions, illustrations,
tools and techniques to provide the evidence base needed to cope
effectively in a range of situations by offering support to enhance
your communication skills.Communication Skills for Midwives
explores challenges relating to: Negotiating with others within
inter-professional and inter-agency teams Working with minority
groupsBreaking significant news when labour threatens the life of a
baby Telling parents that their baby has an abnormalityCoping with
loss and bereavement Addressing issues of domestic abuse
Importantly the book provides information on how thoughts and
feelings may be expressed both through body language and in words.
Taking a practical and problem solving approach, the book will help
you to enhance your learning and improve interaction with your
colleagues, the women you care for and their families.
