- Title
Doula Support and Attitudes of Intrapartum Nurses: A Qualitative Study from the Patient's Perspective.
- Authors
Papagni, Karla; Buckner, Ellen
- Abstract
Although the roles of the intrapartum nurse and professional doula differ markedly, they serve women best if their roles complement each other. For doulas and nurses to work well together in order to facilitate a positive birth experience for the patient, they would logically need to develop a relationship based on mutual respect. The purpose of this pilot qualitative study was to examine the level of acceptance shown by intrapartum nurses for doula support, as perceived by the parturient woman. Implications for further research are addressed.
