This unit explores principles and practice underpinning the assessment and management of women, fetuses and neonates from a range of cultural backgrounds whose health and well-being varies from normal. It extends earlier theoretical knowledge and clinical experiences of caring for childbearing women and neonates, and provides students with knowledge and skills to care for women and neonates whose well-being is threatened or compromised by a chronic, emergent or congenital health condition.
Students must successfully complete both units MIP4209 and MIT4101
Unit was previously coded NMW4115
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
Students attend highly interactive tutorials using a technology enhanced learning (TEL) approach including small group discussions. Students are required to complete lecture material and set readings prior to attending the online tutorial. Activities are designed to further develop communication skills, and critical thinking.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment Procedure - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
