Barriers to midwives and nurses addressing mental health issues with women during the perinatal period: The Mind Mothers study
ConclusionsMidwives and primary care nurses encounter many organisational‐ and practitioner‐related barriers that negatively impact on their ability to incorporate mental health care into their practice.
Relevance to clinical practiceMidwifery and nursing services need to develop strategies to address system‐ and practitioner‐related barriers, including the development of services and care pathways, and the provision of culturally sensitive education on perinatal mental health in order to support practitioners to address issues with confidence and competence.
