This study looked at 12 midwives in the Riverside Health Authority who counselled parturient women about having the HIV antibody test. Results showed that the uptake rate of the test varied considerably across midwives (82% to 3%). Uptake rate varied, to some extent, by ethnic group of the midwife; Afro-Caribbeans having 36% uptake, others 11%. However, the wide variation within these groups suggests that ethnicity alone does not explain the difference in uptake rate. Factors which could be associated with uptake rate are the individual characteristics of both the midwife and of the antenatal clinic attender, such as age, ethnicity, knowledge of and attitudes to HIV and antibody testing, as well as the counselling approach of the individual midwife. |
