description | OBJECTIVE: To explore midwives’ experiences and views of amniotomy. DESIGN: A qualitative inductive design was used. Data were collected using interviews and analysed with content analysis carried out with NVivo 12. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Sixteen midwives working at delivery wards at three hospitals in the south of Sweden. FINDINGS: Three categories emerged: “Promote, protect and support the physiological process of labour”, “To make the decision -to do or not to do” and “Unpredictable response”. The overall theme linking the three categories was “We become our decisions”, portraying how midwives carry the responsibility in the decision-making and represent themselves in their handling of amniotomy. CONCLUSIONS: Amniotomy was experienced and viewed as both simple and complex, safe and risky, and deciding on it sometimes implied balancing contradicting perspectives. By using midwifery skills in the decision-making for an amniotomy, the midwives tried to predict the response, purposing to support physiological labour and promote health for women and babies. |
