Introductory Engagement Within the Perinatal Nursing Relationship

Lisa Sara Goldberg

In this article, the theme of introductory engagement is developed through the conversational interviews and participatory observations I carried out with perinatal nurses and birthing women in the context of a feminist phenomenological methodology. Positioned against the landscape of hierarchical health care practices embedded with power dynamics and disembodied practices, this research explored the ways in which perinatal nurses related to birthing women in the context of relational care. The focus of attention in this article is to describe the theme of introductory engagement by way of a storied phenomenological text.

Key Words: embodiment • feminist phenomenology • introductory engagement • perinatal nursing
