A complex and demanding situation – Midwifery preceptors and midwifery students’ experiences of teaching and learning prevention of severe perineal trauma

An increased awareness among preceptors is needed to optimize teaching strategies, enabling the students to focus on learning the art of the second stage of labour; supporting the woman, preventing severe perineal trauma and ensuring the safety of the unborn baby. Future research should address how existing prevention models can include training to increase preceptors' confidence in teaching.
