The midwifery studies prepare specialists to assist women in antenatal care, specifically in the control of pregnancy conditions, during the childbirth, and during the postnatal care including the interactions of the mother with her newborn child. In this sensitive period of woman’s life, the midwifery specialists need to provide not only a safe and evidence-based care, but also to be responsive and compassionate considering the individual needs of the woman, her baby and her family. The guidance and education provided to the women and their family members should be adequately adjusted to their health literacy level including sociodemographic, cultural, psychological factors. In this regard, the midwifery studies should focus on developing HL skills in their students.

The developed HL courses and materials can be implemented in the midwifery studies after adapting the contents to corresponding cases from the midwifery practice. While most courses can be directly applied in the midwifery education (e.g. Lectures 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7,12, 13, 14), others (e.g. Lectures 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15) need to be revised in the context of midwifery-client communication. For instance, for training of communication skills the provided scenarios could to be replaced with examples from prenatal and postnatal care. In the context of midwifery activities (i.e. health promotion during pregnancy, formulation of the birth plan, control in midwifery assisted childbirth, prevention of postnatal complications) the Project-based learning and Community-based learning can be used in the education of midwifery students as well. The developed educational videos are specific for the physiotherapy settings, nevertheless the PEVA-model can be applied in the development of videos in midwifery settings.
