which is a process visible among the women in the present study.
Finding a balance between respecting an individual's in tegrity and interpretations of violence,and being responsible for
discovering situations of potential health threats,can be delicate
to manage in midwifery encounters. This further underscores why
continuity of care is crucial in encounters across languages and
diverse backgrounds . A gradual deepening of the midwife-woman
relationship might thus open up opportunities for mutual openness and facilitate more
individualised dialogues on violence and
coping (Byrskog etal.,2015; Renfrewetal.,2014).
