Abstract
Previous research on labor and birth in Australia has focused on mortality rates in hospitals and birthing centers. Gathering qualitative research is important to improve nurses’ culturally based care towards childbearing women. I knew of Dr. Callister’s similar research in various countries. I was in the process of applying to study in Australia with the college of nursing, and she expressed that neither she nor any students had previously conducted this research in Australia. I then made preparations to find women who would be willing to interview while I was studying there for one month.
