Creating and implementing a trauma-informed birth plan in a midwifery practice: a quality improvement project
2024
Files
Abstract
This quality improvement project created a trauma-informed birth plan template using an innovative application of the framework developed by the National Center for Trauma Informed Care, which provides standardization of principles of trauma-informed care and ways to conceptualize, interact with, and respond to trauma in various manifestations in healthcare settings. The birth plan was offered in both standard prenatal care visits and group prenatal care settings in a midwifery practice in an academic hospital in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to creating a trauma-informed birth plan, the goal of this project was to understand midwives’ impressions of its function in prenatal and intrapartum care and optimal workflow of integrating the birth plan into an active midwifery practice.
