Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, the history of evidence-based care and practice and their main principles will be presented, including a special focus on the field of obstetrics and midwifery. We will describe and discuss the main components of evidence-based midwifery and how they have been applied on important topics within maternal and newborn care. Finally, we will discuss the opportunities and challenges that midwives in the Nordic countries face when applying evidence-based care in a clinical setting that is dominated by large obstetric wards.

Midwifery in a Nordic context
- 2022
-
In: Theories and perspectives for midwifery. - Lund : Studentlitteratur. - 9789144143194
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, we present the Nordic countries and people, and the Nordic welfare model. Maternity care and midwifery within the welfare state model are presented, and challenges in Nordic midwifery are discussed. Organisation of maternity care is in some aspects fairly similar in the Nordic countries but there are differences between and within countries. However, all countries have a long tradition of midwifery care with professional and licensed midwives practising autonomously and being the most central healthcare professional in maternity care.

Midwives as anchored companions
- 2022
-
In: Theories and perspectives for midwifery. - 9789144143194
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, the concept of anchored companion, which was developed based on my research, and presented in my dissertation and in one article, will be presented. The concept was grounded in studies about women’s experiences of pregnancy, birth, pain during the birth and the encounter between the midwife and the woman, as well as midwives’ experiences of encountering women and their pain. The method used to develop the concept was a general structure based on phenomenological and hermeneutic studies. The context for the studies are a Birth Centre and traditional hospital care for women with normal pregnancy in Sweden. Even if the concept of anchored companion was developed in a special context, it can be, and has been, used in a wider Nordic and international context, which will be discussed in this chapter.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter, we will present and discuss the concept of woman-centred care. This concept is used in different aspects of midwifery such as guidelines, professional recommendations, practice, education, research and midwifery philosophy. Informed choice and women’s rights and involvement are linked to woman-centred care. In this chapter, both an international and Nordic understanding and practical examples of woman-centred care will be presented and discussed.
