Background & Objective: Continuity of midwifery-led care during labour and birth is considered optimal. To ensure its sustainability in practice where limited evidence is available, the aim of the present study was to explore midwives' lived experiences of delivering continuous midwife-led intrapartum care.
Methods: This study took a qualitative approach in meeting its aim.
Background: The significant role of midwives in providing labor and delivery care underscores the necessity of the identification of attitudes and beliefs of these groups of maternity care providers toward physiological childbirth. The purpose of the current study was to describe midwives' attitudes and beliefs toward physiological childbirth and identify its related factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 200 midwives working in the labor and delivery wards of selected hospitals in an urban area of Tehran, Iran, through the continuous sampling method from May to July 2018.
