AB  - INTRODUCTION: Midwifery education that strengthens self-efficacy can support 
      student midwives in their role as advocates for a physiological approach to 
      childbirth. METHODS: To assess the effect of an educational intervention on 
      self-efficacy, a pre- and post-intervention survey was administered to a control 
      group and an intervention group of third year student midwives. The General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was supplemented with midwifery-related self-efficacy 
      questions related to behaviour in home and hospital settings, the communication 
      of evidence, and ability to challenge practice. RESULTS: Student midwives exposed 
      to midwifery education designed to strengthen self-efficacy demonstrated 
      significantly higher levels of general self-efficacy (p = .001) when contrasted 
      to a control cohort. These students also showed significantly higher levels of 
      self-efficacy in advocating for physiological childbirth (p = .029). There was a 
      non-significant increase in self-efficacy in the hospital setting in the 
      intervention group, a finding that suggests that education may ameliorate the 
      effect of hospital settings on midwifery practice. DISCUSSION: In spite of the 
      small size of the study population, education that focuses on strengthening 
      student midwife self-efficacy shows promise.
