Utilisation of childbirth education techniques: How does the concept of ‘differentiation of self’ impact this?
Women utilise CBE techniques to differing degrees, which is impacted by support available, and stressors associated with birth culture and practices. This has practise implications for supporting physiological birth. The application of CBE techniques is mediated by pressures women encounter. DoS indicates promotion of CBE strategies up to a point, but with sufficient challenges, continued use becomes increasingly difficult.
