Subject: midwifery education in Europe
Dear midwives,
I'm Ana Polona Skočir, a midwife from Slovenia. I'm an assistent at the
College of health studies in Ljubljana; midwifery department. As a part of
my MSc thesis at the University of Aberdeen, I'm doing a reserach about
postnatal depression. I included the following table by Emons and
Luiten in my study. However, my mentor warned me that not all the data in
the table are correct.
As I need to submit my work next week, I would like to ask you to help me.
Would you be so kind and please send me the correct data for your country?
Thank you in advance and best wishes from Slovenia,
Polona Skočir
