This paper suggests that an appropriate theoretical underpinning for research in midwifery is one that is based on feminist theory. It is argued that by adopting this approach, midwifery practice will focus on the needs of women and change in the provision of services for childbearing women will be in response to women's evaluation of existing services. By addressing the needs of women it is argued that the profession will also benefit, as the role of midwifery in the health care of childbearing women will be defined.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77020,"journal":{"name":"Australian College of Midwives Incorporated journal","volume":"12 2","pages":"Pages 6-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1031-170X(99)80013-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21604963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
