The Interdisciplinary Doula Project: Innovations in Nursing Clinical Education

This article describes the Interdisciplinary Doula Project, a program to enhance diverse perspectives and clinical skills of university students. Nursing (n = 21, 77.8%) and other health students (n = 6, 22.2%) completed doula training, diversity seminars, and 36 hours of intrapartum care. Seven nursing students were hired to work on labor and delivery upon graduation. This innovative program may increase registered nurses trained to provide culturally congruent labor support for vulnerable pregnant populations.PMID:38407243 | DOI:10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001248
