PROBLEM: In remote Papua New Guinea there are few midwives or functioning health facilities, and high perinatal mortality. Indigenous traditional birth attendants carry the burden of caring for women and newborns. BACKGROUND: Midwives training and developing traditional birth attendants rely on ad-hoc approaches to the education they provide, drawing from their own knowledge and skills. AIM: Develop a culturally sensitive conceptual educational framework as a guide for midwives to train and supervise traditional birth attendants in low-resource settings. METHODS: Seven-step approach: 1) Establish trust and respect; 2) Identification of the need; 3) Ethical considerations; 4) Needs analysis; 5) Contextual considerations; 6) Theoretical framework; 7) Practice standards. FINDINGS: The Yamen Traditional Birth Attendant Conceptual Educational Framework guides midwives to train and supervise traditional birth attendants to strengthen maternal and newborn healthcare in low-resource settings through pre-service education and community development. Four adult, cross-cultural learning principles were identified: cultural sensitivity, strategic issues, previous experience, evidence-based practice. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge, skills, attitudes, and critical thinking of traditional birth attendants. DISCUSSION: Training and supervision of traditional birth attendants by midwives is recommended for low-resource settings of Papua New Guinea to foster strong partnerships between communities and health facilities and improve perinatal safety. CONCLUSION: A co-designed, culturally sensitive education framework is presented with the potential to strengthen maternal and newborn services in low-resource settings by linking traditional birth attendants to midwives in formal health services. Further research is needed to articulate the role, scope of work and key learning competencies.
