10 cp
Prerequisites
Nil
Teaching Organisation 150 hours of focused learning.

This unit will build on women’s health assessment and health promotion skills which were previously developed. Through the introduction of the broader women’s health context, the unit explores the primary and collaborative role of the midwife working with women experiencing common women’s health problems and their responses to these experiences. Students will be introduced to the physical and psychological aspects associated with selected women’s health problems. The issue of women’s experience of ‘what is happening to me’ and ‘woman’s sense of self’ will be explored. The focus will be on fostering a positive self-image for women through facilitating participation in informed decision making and taking responsibility for self-care and optimising wellness.
