AB  - BACKGROUND: The obstetric triage tool (OBTT) is used to record the clinical 
      findings following obstetric triage (OBT). The recorded OBTT provides midwives 
      with clinical information leading to diagnosis of existing and potential maternal 
      and foetal problems that may lead to intrapartum complications, planning of 
      specific midwifery care and communication among the midwifery team about the 
      woman in labour. AIM: This study aimed to explore and describe midwives' 
      experiences of the OBTT used during admission of women in labour in the Bojanala 
      district. SETTING: This study was conducted in the two selected facilities in 
      Bojanala district in North West province. METHODS: This study is a derivative of 
      a major study, entitled 'Midwives' experiences of OBT by midwives in the Bojanala 
      district'. A qualitative, explorative and descriptive research design was 
      followed. Nine purposefully sampled midwives with over 5 years of clinical 
      midwifery experience, employed in the Bojanala district, attended a 
      semistructured interview. Data obtained were analysed using Colaizzi's 
      descriptive method of data analysis according to the themes and categories which 
      emerged. RESULTS: One central theme with 10 subthemes emerged. Midwives 
      verbalised their dissatisfaction with the current OBTT and made recommendations 
      for the revision of the tool. CONCLUSION: The study highlighted midwives' 
      experiences of the OBTT and recommendations for an ideal tool based on their 
      knowledge of admission of a woman in labour. CONTRIBUTION: This study provides a 
      new OBTT from midwives' perspectives that could be useful in improving pregnancy 
      and labour outcomes in clinical midwifery practice.
