Current Research
My doctoral research aimed at exploring and explaining childbearing women's expectations and experiences of a good midwife in the context of different planned places of birth in England, using a Grounded Theory methodology. Other research include the topics of early pushing urge; early labour; student midwives' experiences of clinical placements; Italian midwives working in England; rupture of membranes.
