This module presents a comprehensive exploration of theoretical frameworks and clinical application principles essential for nursing and midwifery practice in the context of children and childbearing families. It delves into the childbearing journey, developmental phases of childhood, and family dynamics, enabling nurses to actively contribute to the preservation and enhancement of family well-being. Learning experiences within this module are designed to enhance your comprehension of the nursing or midwifery role in delivering care throughout the typical childbearing process and childhood. The module is delivered in a blended format, necessitating a significant commitment to independent study through online resources.
