Abstract
Being 'with woman' is a fundamental concept of midwifery philosophy. Minimal evidence explicates ways this important construct is learned or taught. This paper reflects one part of a larger study and explored midwives' experiences of learning and teaching related to the phenomenon of being 'with woman'. Using a descriptive phenomenological approach, 31 midwives working in a variety of models in Western Australia were interviewed to explore the phenomenon of being 'with woman'. Rich descriptions of how midwives learned and taught others to be 'with woman' were obtained. Descriptive phenomenology is useful in revealing features of the phenomenon through description of lived experiences of purposively sampled participants. Giorgi's method was used to analyse data from the two main interview questions. The themes for learning to be 'with woman' were observing midwives; inspirational leaders; learning from the women; a variety of experiences enhances learning; and, develops over time. The themes for teaching being 'with woman' were, approaches for teaching; teaching is implicit; reliance on observation, comprehension and assimilation. Insights into the learning and teaching of practices supported by professional philosophy offer educators and leaders new knowledge and ways to enhance the transfer of knowledge and skills of being 'with woman'.
