This volume explores the unique challenges midwifery graduates face
as they move into practice. It identifies the similarities and
differences in midwifery education, regulation, and clinical
practice faced by graduate midwives in all continents, examining
the various support systems available for graduate midwives in many
countries, and identifying the common strategies (formal and
informal) and approaches that have proved to be effective in
supporting midwifery graduates.The book volume brings together the
experiences of new midwives starting out in registered practice, to
share the challenges and triumphs during their transition to
confident practitioners. It identifies, explains and details both
established and innovative new mechanisms in place to support new
midwives in each country, and examines the effects the experiences
of transitioning to practice may have on future professional
practice, resilience and sustainability. Lack of support during the
new-graduate transition to practice has been associated with early
attrition from the midwifery profession. Stress, disillusion, and
horizontal violence have been identified as factors that influence
midwifery attrition rates. Exploration of the various support
mechanisms currently available in different countries may stimulate
the sharing of best practices in providing new midwives with
transition to practice programmes and generate further
research.Each chapter is harmonized to facilitate the comparison
between countries, and the maternity services context is explained
using each country's specific legislation, regulation and
registration of midwives. The preparation of midwifery students for
qualified practice is outlined to explain how midwifery students
are trained and socialized into the profession, mentored in their
placements and then transitioned to registered midwife status. This
book appeals to midwives, managers, educators, and newly graduated
interested in international midwifery practice.
