The birth story interview: enhancing student appreciation of the personal meaning of pregnancy and birth.
Women's health faculty seek to promote nursing students' understanding of the personal experience of birth and inspire student appreciation of social, cultural, and healthcare system influences on childbirth. The authors describe the effective implementation of an ethnographic birth story interview assignment through which undergraduate nursing students gain insight into the meaning of pregnancy and birth through the experience of a woman.
