Antenatal asthma management by midwives in Australia - Self-reported knowledge, confidence and guideline use.

CONCLUSION: Although midwives appear aware of key clinical recommendations for optimal antenatal asthma management, low referral to clinical practice guidelines and lack of knowledge and confidence was evident. Further research is required to determine what care pregnant women with asthma are actually receiving and identify strategies to improve antenatal asthma management by midwives.
