HI, I am a Danish midwife and recently a Ph.D. student at Århus University.
My field of interest is the relation between written guidelines and
clinical practice.
Evidense based medicine has been a major contributor to the development of
written guidelines, I have been following this development, and been very
intusiastic about it. All the questions such as: should we do an episotomi
or not? what is the effect of routine ultrasound and so forth? has been
very important. But know I want to try to ask different questions?
I ask questions such as: How can the relation between written guidelines
and pratice in the delivery room be described? How can the relationship
between guidelines and technology be described? Why are there guidelines on
certain issues and no guidelines on others? How is women/midwifes/ and
technology transformed through the use of guidelines/technology?
I would very much like to make contact to people that also do studies
within midwifery/obstetrics/medicine and using STS as analytical framework.
In Denmark this perspective in much unknown in midwifery, and I would like
to have contact to fellow researchers in this area that do not consider
this tradition to be coming from the moon.
To study this phenomena I will use at theorectical perspective called STS
(Science and Technology studies),a transdiciplinary research field where
the web between society, technology and texts (such a written guidelines)
and practice is studied.
Part of my study will be a field study in a Danish labourward.
I Denmark midwifery is a spoken tradition (books used in midwifery
education is in english), hardly any midwifes writes about practice and
very few do reseach, The ones that do, do quantitative reseach (almost).
Thinking back on Danish history, written guidelines was used very little in
the 1980, when I was having my midwifery training. Written guidelines
started to be a major issue somewhere in the nineties. I wold like to have
a more international perspective on how written guidelines came into
midwifery practice? Do any of you remember this history or know of sources
where this history might be described?
I would also very much like to know, how you think about written guidelines
and your practice? How do the help? dont help? How is in power of writing
guidelines? What do you think of the relation between written guidelines
and life in a labour room? between guidelines and technology
Jette
