An innovative approach to teaching maternal/infant care in Jordan.
Cultural and religious beliefs in Jordan do not allow male nursing students to practice in the female patients' wards, especially in maternity units.

Below, how a maternal/infant care course specific for male nursing students with the aim of teaching related but culturally appropriate nursing skills was developed.
