Knowledge and use of sterile water injections amongst midwives in the United Kingdom: A cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: SWI use is uncommon in the UK although midwives are interested in incorporating the procedure into practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: National guidance on SWI and the lack of information and training is restricting the use of the procedure in practice, despite SWI being widely used in other countries and being effective in the treatment of pain in labour.
