Midwives' experiences of cultural competency training and providing perinatal care for migrant women a mixed methods study: Operational Refugee and Migrant Maternal Approach (ORAMMA) project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of international migrants continues to increase worldwide. Depending on their country of origin and migration experience, migrants may be at greater risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Having compassionate and culturally competent healthcare providers is essential to optimise perinatal care. The "Operational Refugee and Migrant Maternal Approach" (ORAMMA) project developed cultural competence training for health professionals to aid with providing perinatal care for migrant women. This presents an evaluation of ORAMMA training and explores midwives' experiences of the training and providing care within the ORAMMA project.

Methods

Cultural competence was assessed before and after midwives (n = 35) received ORAMMA compassionate and cult
