This unit will build on your knowledge acquired throughout the course and demonstrate higher-level learning to identify complex factors that may present during the childbearing continuum. This unit will provide the theory to understand the complex factors that may impact on the childbearing continuum and the care required utilising the Australian College of Midwives 'National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral'.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Emails from teaching staff reminding students about assessments and encouraging engagement with unit resources can sometimes feel overwhelming and discouraging. When you're focused on completing one assessment and another is already approaching, it can add to stress levels.

Staff have been encouraged to monitor student engagement through CQUniversity Success and reach out to students who have not engaged with the unit materials over several weeks. Although friendly and supportive language was used in line with recommendations from CQUniversity staff workshops, future emails will be reviewed to ensure they are not too frequent, the tone remains encouraging and the focus is on offering solutions for students who may be facing challenges.

It is difficult to know how to use generative AI tools such as Chat GPT in the course and for assessments and whether we are breaching academic integrity by doing this.

Information is available for students on the Moodle site and in the assessment rubrics, aligned with the School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Social Sciences guidelines. However, due to the rapidly evolving nature of this environment, it is acknowledged that understanding how to use these tools appropriately can be confusing. To address this, students will attend a workshop at residential schools with the Academic Learning Centre staff to provide further guidance on using generative AI tools for assessments and avoiding breaches of academic integrity. This also facilitates equity across the student cohort when utilising gen AI tools.
