Knowledge, attitude, and practice of Chinese midwives performing in perineal massage for pregnant women in the latter stages of pregnancy
There is an average level of midwives' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on perineal massage for pregnant women in the later stages of pregnancy. This study recommends strengthening the knowledge and attitude dimensions of midwives in order to improve their comprehension of giving pregnant women a perineal massage in the latter stages of pregnancy. Improving these elements will also boost midwives' practical abilities, which will improve the quality of perineal massage for expectant mothers in the latter stages of pregnancy.
