Simone NaughtonAdele BaldwinProfessor Clare HarveyTanya S CapperPublished in: Birth (Berkeley, Calif.) (2024)
Aligning with contemporary theories surrounding the provision of midwifery care, the midwifery capabilities theory recognizes the individual health and social status of women and the rights to self-determination. This centers care around each individual's needs, which, in addition to improving health and well-being outcomes, contributes to improved self-confidence, enhancing engagement through authentic professional relationships.
