Exploring the landscape of Canadian midwifery research: strengths, gaps and priorities - results of a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The 2014 Lancet Series on Midwifery developed the Quality of Maternal and Newborn Care (QMNC) framework outlining care needed for all childbearing people and newborns. Furthermore, this was a global call to action to invest in research capacity building. While evidence-informed care is a cornerstone of midwifery practice, there has been limited exploration of how Canadian midwifery research priorities within the Canadian context align with the global framework. In response to the call from the Lancet series, this scoping review aimed to investigate the current strengths and gaps of midwifery research in Canada. Secondarily, our goal was to map existing Canadian evidence to the QMNC framework to guide future priority setting and build research capacity.
