• W20941688 abstract "know that every day I am gaining experience ...learning more (Int. 6(a))This thesis examines the social practices and associated learning that shape the meaningof midwifery for new members of the profession. In doing so it explores the extent towhich the implications of practice either liberate or circumscribe midwives' identityformation. The thesis further suggests how this identity formation may impact uponcommitment to a long term career in midwifery. The theoretical framework for thisthesis acknowledges that continuing professional development and evidence ofrecognised learning activity is, for all midwives, a professional requirement. However,less attention has historically been paid to the unstructured, unintended and relativelyinformal learning that occurs within and throughout midwives' involvement in everydaypractice. It is through these forms of learning, and drawing upon data elicited throughsurveys, interviews and diaries, that this thesis seeks to make a contribution.Using a social model of learning, particularly through Wenger's (1998) work oncommunities of practice, the development of identity is presented as a negotiated processmediated to a greater or lesser degree by workplace relationships. Whilst relationshipswith pregnant women form an important element of this process, the thesis argues thatcollegial relationships generally assume greater importance and impact on thedevelopment of identity and meaning for newly qualified midwives. By situating theeveryday experiences of newly qualified midwives within a broader theoretical debateabout social learning, identity and the making of meaning, this thesis suggests that thecontemporary 'doing' of hospital based midwifery remains within what are fairlynarrowly prescribed, contested, yet firm boundaries.The development, existence and negotiation of these boundaries is central to the spacewhich pregnant women, midwifery and midwives can occupy. These boundaries aresimultaneously hierarchical, intra professional and personal. Furthermore, in practice,these boundaries are frequently unclear and rapidly changing. Whilst this contributes to apotentially dynamic opportunity for identity formation, the thesis demonstrates how thisalso transpires to contribute to an unstable, frustrating and frequently challenging contextparticularly for newly qualified members of the profession.Overall, this thesis contributes to an understanding of the development, or lack ofdevelopment, of midwifery practice at theoretical, conceptual and practical levels.Viewing practice as social learning offers a new perspective on the opportunities andchallenges inherent in the current model of care. Simultaneously it suggests a newperspective on the recruitment crisis faced by the profession and accordingly theopportunity for new potential solutions." @default.
