PROBLEM: Across the globe there is a need to increase the number of midwives and invest in developing the capacity of midwives.
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that the promotion of midwifery leadership can lead to an improvement in maternal and newborn health. The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Midwifery Buddy Program develops a partnership between Australian and PNG midwives with the goal of building leadership confidence and skills in participants.
AIM: To explore participants' perception of the Buddy Program and the impact that participation in the Program had on their leadership skills.
METHODS: This study utilised a multi-method approach, where data were collected through surveys conducted on multiple time points throughout the Buddy Program. All participants in the Program were invited to participate. Self-Leadership, Confidence as a Leader, Behaviour as a leader, and perceptions on the program workshop were assessed. Within and between group comparisons were made at baseline, after the workshop and 6-months.
FINDINGS: The program was completed by 12 midwives from PNG and 7 from Australia. From baseline to 6-months, there was a significant increase in self-leadership skills (p= 0.016) in the PNG midwives. There was no significant difference between the Australian and PNG midwives for Self-Leadership, Confidence as a Leader or Behaviour as a leader at any time point.
DISCUSSION: Participation in the Program allowed midwives to develop their leadership skills and midwives valued the opportunity to network with other midwives.
CONCLUSION: The Buddy Program could be a model applied across other countries to build the capacity of midwives.
