Research Project: Bridging the gaps between rhetoric and reality in midwifery education trough triangulation with alumni from Bangladesh, Somaliland, and Puntland
Overarching factors in civil society are scarcely researched to explain challenges in providing quality midwifery education. Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden show differences and similarities in providing midwifery education. Here we focus on clinical midwifery education because all countries are facing challenges in delivering high-quality clinical midwifery education. The purpose is to provide a scientific foundation on the
benefits of midwife-led care at selected clinical midwife students’ placement sites in Bangladesh, Somaliland, Puntland, and Sweden to improve clinical education quality. The action points in the WHO framework for establishing quality midwifery education with scientific quality care outcomes of midwife-led care will guide the development of research questions for a research application in 2025. Through triangulation 234 master’s alumni from Dalarna University in an alumni network, meeting online and in field studies at midwife students’ clinical placement sites, will investigate where, at what facilities, midwife-led care can be showcased, or prototyped in Bangladesh, Somaliland and Puntland. A working committee will meet online and at Dalarna University, establishing a relevant research agenda for long-term collaboration and a research application to be submitted in 2025. Leadership and research workshops will be provided and reciprocal learning will improve the quality of clinical midwifery education, also in Sweden.
