Résumé : |
I selected this reflective piece as the Hot Topic as it movingly summarises the realities of working in the midwifery profession. I am sure that we have all experienced these feelings and reactions ourselves, from others and maybe to others.
Midwifery is a very emotionally interactive profession: more so with the recent demands faced through the COVID-19 pandemic. It takes a breadth of skills and resilience to provide the support and compassion we do to the women we care for. It is therefore not surprising that we sometimes have little left for our colleagues. We are also all guilty of sometimes forgetting where we have come from and how lacking in confidence we once were. The paper by Nicole Rajan-Brown also included in this issue 'Creating a partnership of care in clinical practice: a student midwife's reflection' (pages 58-60), has a poignant reflection: 'However, as a new student, I felt unable to raise any concerns, feeling a lack in confidence in the face of an experienced midwife.' We become experienced and confident but we must always remember we once weren't. I thank all authors who share their personal experiences of struggle and commend their strength and kindness as humans in doing so. As a profession we need to look after each other, not just the women and families we care for. Only then can we stand truly together. |
