KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
In order to provide optimal midwifery care for clients, midwives should also assess the aspect of sexuality with women/couples in all stages of perinatal health care. However, due to own insecurity (fear of miscounselling, shame, feelings of intrusiveness, etc.) this aspect of holistic care is rather rarely covered by midwives. This workshop offers a concrete model for integrating sexuality into midwifery care or midwifery teaching. It will be composed of a lecture that will focus on the main milestones of midwifery practice where sexuality should be included and practical part that includes skill transference and role play in small groups, moderated by experienced midwifery educators, knowledgeable in the field of midwifery and sexuality.
